The Serpent Sea continues the story of Moon and the Raksura of the Indigo Cloud court. The story is set on a strange planet where various groups, sky people, water people, and groundlings, compete for domination. The Serpent Sea takes Moon and a group of the court into dangerous waters to recover an important magical artifact. Wells creates a unique (for me) setting for the bulk of her story. I don’t want to spoil the surprise when you get to that part. The Serpent Sea features more court intrigue than The Cloud Roads, but it will certainly satisfy your need for a fantasy fix. I’ll read the next book in the series whenever Night Shade Books publishes it. Bill Crider has more to say about The Serpent Sea here. GRADE: B+
George-you should see MELANCHOLIA if it comes there. I think you might like it. It has the air of fantasy about it and Dunst is just great.
My son Patrick saw MELANCHOLIA and loved it, Patti. But it hasn’t opened in Western NY yet.
