Moon has never fit in with the people he's lived with. One day, he finds out that not only are there others like him, he's special. It sounds like the premise to a bad YA novel, but Cloud Atlas was a great read. Moon's initial reluctance isn't because of some ridiculousness about just wanting a "nor...
Not really Wells' best work, IMO, but still head & shoulders above most of what's out there. Moon is a shapeshifter, living among yet another group of humanoid "groundlings" and hiding his other-ness, as he has done for many years, ever since his mother and siblings were killed. Every time he star...

What a great story! This had a really interesting world setting and the people of this world were so varied and diverse! I loved the dragons, or Raksura, as they are called in this world. Short description: Moon is a wanderer, a shape-shifter with no family. The only family he recalls having are his...
While I ended up not hating this book, I still feel it is not nearly as good as what I'm used to from Ms. Wells. The good guys are a race of shifters made up of two primary peoples, ones that have wings and ones that don't. They have different tasks within their culture based on their racial abili...
An exotic world, inhabited by the bizarre and otherworldly, forms the setting for this fantastic adventure that challenges the tropes of the genre. Its familiar - a story about an orphan finally reunited with his kind and forced to quickly learn their way and save them from an ancient foe - and yet ...
Tired of the orphan's heroic quest as he ventures into the world to discover himself and claim his birthright? Don't give up yet--Wells has managed a satisfying twist on an old trope by creating species and setting that feel quite alien. Cloud Roads is certainly one of the most original fantasy worl...
I was not enamored with this book although I realize that some of the points that caused my dislike might be exactly the same points that attracted other people to this unusual novel. StoryThe story is entertaining, although not very original, and the pacing is okay. Most of the 3 stars go to the st...
