I've been sitting on this review for the past couple of months, not because I don't have anything to say, but because all I have to say is how much I love this series (I love it so very much). I went into the first book The Cloud Roads expecting to like it, but I wasn't prepared for how much I enjoyed it. All three books are simply amazing, and they remind me of the fantasies I loved when I was younger, particularly the Earthsea Chronicles and the early Pern books.

As I'm planning on reading this whole collection, I'm going to review each book as I finish it.
2018-11: The Siren Depths. 4.5 stars. What a terrific way to wrap up this trilogy. Moon finds out about his parentage and we find out more about the Raksura-Fell connection and both their origins.
When word gets back to Moon's original Court, Opal Night, of his existence, they make it clear to Indigo Court that they want their son back. Moon is deeply upset by this, and by his queen's apparent acquiesc ...more

Just... do yourself a favor and find these books and read them. I hadn't realized that another series from this author had been rec'd to me a few years back until I was chomping at the bit for more Raksura and went looking to see what else she'd done. I plan to try out the Murderbot series eventually.
Ok, but why do I think you should read these books? Well... Wells did a GREAT job of pulling on my emotions. The world is mysterious and DIFFERENT. You know pretty quickly that this isn't another so ...more

Sommerens bedste læsning for mig har helt uden sammenligning været Martha Wells’ Raksura-serie. Jeg læste først kortromanen/singlen The Murderbot Diaries: All Systems Red
af Wells og faldt med det samme for hendes skrivestil, som bare gav mig et kick.
Efterfølgende kastede jeg mig over hendes Raksura-serie, og det har jeg bestemt ikke fortrudt.

Fantastic world building
From the fertile imagination of Martha Wells comes some of the richest world building ever. This world called the three worlds by its inhabitants includes incredibly diverse geography, creatures, sentient beings, and magics After hearing so many great things about this series I bought the box set of the first 3 novels. I blitzed through the set in no time. I didn't want to stop reading! Whether you do like I did and buy the set or get them one at at time you won't be dis ...more

I read the first book in the trilogy not long after it was published (in 2011 I think) and loved it. More recently, my husband bought this single download of the trilogy, mentioned how much he loved it and it was only when I started reading that I remembered reading it the first time around. This time, of course, there were two more books within the download for me to continue further into the story. I love the concept, the universe, the story (or should I say stories, since there are many), the

I love this series! You have a complex world, called the Three Worlds---filled with fascinating cities, great characters, and amazing events! The Raksura are shape-shifters. Moon, a lone shifter who does not know what he is gets introduced to his people for the first time. There are traditions he does not know, the world has lines of force, flying islands, rapacious enemies, beautiful colonies, ancient traditions, and plots galore! It's a beautiful place, and one of the best tales I've read in y

LOL I REMEMBER HOW WEIRD IT WAS READING THE CLOUD ROADS THE FIRST TIME, BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE AUTHOR OR WHAT FANDOM IT WAS FROM, I KNEW THAT BOOK WAS SOMEONE'S FIC WITH THE SERIAL NUMBERS FILED OFF.
I HEARD SOMEWHERE YEARS LATER THAT IT STARTED OFF AS SGA FIC. IHNI WHAT THE AUTHOR'S FANDOM NAME IS, THOUGH.
