Sequel to The Cloud Roads, this one follows Moon’s court as they try to find a home. Unfortunately, their ancestral dwelling has been robbed of its heart, sending them on a quest to retrieve it from unfriendly actors. The ecology of this universe just gets weirder and weirder; we meet trading “waterlings” whose entire bodies are seacraft, and enormous seagoing leviathans who have entire cities on their backs (and crazy macrobiomes in their bellies). Yet the heart of the novel is still Moon and his defensive independence, set against his desperate need for family and belonging. Love the focus on emotion amongst all the adventure and crazy worldbuilding, really good stuff.
