Harbors of the Sun: Volume Five of the Books of the Raksura | Martha Wells
11 posts | 7 read | 8 to read
Nominated for the 2018 Hugo Award for Best Series "Breathtakingly surprising and fun. For readers who missed earlier entry points to this delightful series, now is the time to get on board."--The New York Times A former friend has betrayed the Raksura and their groundling companions, and now the survivors must race across the Three Worlds to rescue their kidnapped family members. When Moon and Stone are sent ahead to scout, they quickly encounter an unexpected and potentially deadly ally, and decide to disobey the queens and continue the search alone. Following in a wind-ship, Jade and Malachite make an unlikely alliance of their own, until word reaches them that the Fell are massing for an attack on the Reaches, and that forces of the powerful Empire of Kish are turning against the Raksura and their groundling comrades. But there may be no time to stage a rescue, as the kidnapped Raksura discover that their captors are heading toward a mysterious destination with a stolen magical artifact that will cause more devastation for the Reaches than anything the lethal Fell can imagine. To stop them, the Raksura will have to take the ultimate risk and follow them into forbidden territory. The Harbors of the Sun, from celebrated fantasy author Martha Wells, is the thrilling follow-up to The Edge of Worlds, and the conclusion of a new Three Worlds duology of strange lands, uncanny beings, dead cities, and ancient danger.

This was another heart melting scene. Just everything between Moon and Shade is so weighty but they have this amazing understanding. I love every quiet moment we see between them.

Sorry I had to make the quote so small to fit it, but I really wanted to include this whole scene. Pearl's a cranky pain in the ass but she genuinely loves her court and her court loves her. Just the gentle understanding Heart shows of how Pearl reacts to things she doesn't like (which, admittedly, is practically everything) is so good, and displayed so well in this scene. It had me melting and laughing in equal measure.

esurient I love this book. I have to go reread it again. 6y

I love these two taking time out of their confrontation with the random bruiser to bicker with each other.

I bought this book when it came out and then put off reading it for ages because I was sad it was the last book. (Please tell me I'm not the only one who does stuff like that...)
But it is so good. Loved this installment to the series. I'm still sad it's the last book, and still hopeful Wells will come back to this world. There's so many more stories I would love to see! Now I want to reread the series (starts with The Cloud Roads) ❤️

Sometimes, #fanfiction is my very favorite thing. (Fan continuation of above novel; spoilers for above novel.)

I started The Harbours of the Sun for my first read of 2019. Loving being back with Moon and the rest of the Raksura. I'm already feeling a reread of all the books sometime soon(ish).

And starting #Genji for the chapter a day buddy read. Still on the intro.

So my (accidentally colour coordinated) evening is getting the year off to a great start! Not thinking too hard about having to go back to work tomorrow, just enjoying this time now.

If you want to read a book dealing with current political events, do not read this book. If you need to escape in a fantastical world of filled with people of different races trying understand each other and fight together to prevent the destruction of all while wishing you had wings, read this book. Also, Stone is my current literary boyfriend.

He's dreaming of catching Raksura! (we won't tell him they're a lot bigger than the picture!)

Martha Wells is one of my absolute favorite authors. I reread this series frequently, and this latest is another treasure--loved seeing Pearl and Malachite relate to each other!
