Moon, once a solitary wanderer, has become consort to Jade, sister queen of the Indigo Cloud court. Together, they travel with their people on a pair of flying ships in hopes of finding a new home for their colony. Moon finally feels like he's found a tribe where he belongs.But when the travelers reach the ancestral home of Indigo Cloud, shrouded within the trunk of a mountain-sized tree, they discover a blight infecting its core. Nearby they find the remains of the invaders who may be responsible, as well as evidence of a devastating theft. This discovery sends Moon and the hunters of Indigo Cloud on a quest for the heartstone of the tree — a quest that will lead them far away, across the Serpent Sea.

4.5 starsAn excellent follow up to The Cloud Roads. Wells has such a gift for rich and imaginative worldbuilding. I would love to see these books on film; the visual descriptions are captivating.The characters continue to be a real highlight as well. The development is slow and sure, building by layers. The depth of the characters helps to contribute to the real sense of peril Wells creates, particularly in the second half of the book.I am most definitely continuing this series.Just as good as the first two times I read it, and that amazing feeling of coming home again is still there. These books really are the quintessential summer reads. My only fear is racing the last book and that unavoidable book-hangover. * * * * *Rereading on audio with the Flight of Fantasy group* * * * *The Serpent Sea takes place after the fight with the Fell.

Moon and Jade and the other members of Indigo Cloud have found a new place to live -- Indigo Cloud's previous colony in a mountain tree. (A tree the size of a mountain, that is; have I mentioned that I love this world?) Well, they've found a place to live if they can keep the tree from dying, that is ... Which will require a lengthy journey across the titular sea to a ... most unique city.More great world-building, Raksura politics, adventures, and fascinatingly flawed characters.
I'm surprised I'm giving this book 4 stars . I given worse grades to better books but I enjoyed this book from start to finish it wouldn't feel right giving it any less. Second installment in this pretty unique series maybe isn't epic or ambitious but what it set to do it does very well. Story is good and flows fluidly, world and Raksura themselves are as interesting as ever and novelty hasn't warn off a bit. Overall it's pure fun. Perfect book between longer, more complex books.
Stone wandered up out of the crowd, stopped and eyed Moon for a moment, then nudged his shoulder. You all right? Yes. Suddenly that was all Moon could trust himself to say. He felt like he had never really come home before, not to a permanent home, not to a place where everyone knew the real him. He couldnt even trust himself to shift to his groundling form, even though it was technically rude to stay like this while Stone was a groundling. What he really wanted to do was run away and hide in a
This sequel to the excellent The Cloud Roads (one of my top 10 books 2010) starts where the first book left of, as Moon, the now-consort to Jade, the sister queen to the Indigo Cloud and their court are on their way to their ancestral home in the hope of finding a new settlement for their people. The court is battle-weary after their fight against the Fell and worried about their diminishing numbers but still hopeful for a bright future at the new settlement. And at first, it seems all of their
3.5/5; 4 stars; B+The second book in the Raksura series was a pretty tense adventure. I enjoyed the fantasy element and the characters. The only drawback for me was the over the top challenges that kept coming at the main characters.
