What a terrific new world these authors have created. A world where
humans have been forced to live on islands in the sky in order to escape
a deadly cloud of corrosive gas that covers the surface of the Earth.
Trade is done via airship and precious water needs to be harvested from
storm clouds. There is a pretty exciting adventure story in here too.
The novel also features strong characterisation, easily overlooked in
steam punk / fantasy novels but so important for hooking you into the
story and the world. A word of advice though - I didn't really like the
prologue, I felt it was weak and out of character with the rest of the
book. Just keep reading it gets much better as you go on.
