Fantasy Review Barn Many works of fantasy tell epic tales without a single non-human character in them. Most have largely human casts with a sprinkling of non-humans thrown in for effect - a few elves or dwarves or demons. But here we have a world, it seems, with no humans in it at all. The main cha...
4/5; 4 stars; A-The Cloud Roads is what I tend to think of as classic fantasy. There is no confusion in my mind as to whether this is urban fantasy or paranormal. Its a good story about a man looking for himself and his home and all the struggles he has to find his place against some pretty daun...
Managing to be at once alien and familiar, Moon's journey from wounded loner to champion was touching.

Well, I'm pretty sad about this. Not going to be continuing, the writing isn't evocative enough for me. Lots of telling me exactly what someone is feeling/doing instead of letting it occur naturally. I really wanted to like this too :(

Absolutly enjoyable read. The world is fascinating- diverse peoples and a sense that the world is far older then most of the civilizations currently on it. Lovely.
(Isn’t it beautiful? I love the detail, and I found it helped when it came to picturing the Raksura race.) After hiding in his human form and constantly travelling between different races of humans, Moon is finally caught out. Having been spotted transforming, Moon is discovered for what he really i...
What will be a classic coming of age tale! Martha Wells work in The Cloud Roads is an amazing work of art! The most redeaming quality about this book is the world that is created here. What a place... The different species and the different places really brings this story to life.And I can tell you ...
