Commentary In Pursuance Of Books The Harbors of the Sun (The Books of the Raksura #5)

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.

Write Up Containing Books The Harbors of the Sun (The Books of the Raksura #5)

Was about to give this book 4 stars bc there was some perspectives I didn't care much reading from, but then I thought to myself "who am I trying to fool with rating a Raksuran book only 4 stars when clearly it's 5 stars because these books are the greatest thing that has ever happened to this world"

I always love Wells's characters, though I quibble with her plots. This is the only one I've actually read rather than listened to, aside from book 1 (The Cloud Roads), and I was unfortunately distracted by a lot of annoying edit fails -- like consistently spelling "baring" as "barring" and waffling back and forth on whether a certain kethel was simply "the kethel" or was actually named "Kethel", and many punctuation errors. Fortunately, the characters still shine through.Oh, P.S. -- I had to

Read in one day. More high adventure in the fantastic world of the Raksura, continuing the plot started in Edge of the World. When I hit page 300 (out of 400) I was surprised there were still so many pages left as the main conflicts seemed to be over. What happened instead was that the character arc was crammed into the last 100 pages. Not a bad thing, just unusual.

If you have a short memory (like I do) and/or it's been some time since you read The Edge of Worlds then the start of The Harbors of the Sun may be a little confusing. This is because it takes up right as the previous book ended (or, well, part happens at the same time as the very end of the previous book), which may mean a re-read could be in order. If this is where you've picked up, the entire series is well worth a read to fully understand the ties each character has to each other so go back

I love, love, love it. Having this last adventure with Moon and all the others is such a great thing. <3I love the different POVs and that because of them we knew what happened in the Reaches and therefore got the awesomeness of Pearl and Malachite working together. OMG. So awesome. <3The search for Merit and Bramble has been great (and heartbreaking) and then Moon working together with Kethel in order to stop the weapon and Moon getting hurt and "stolen" by groundlings?

3.5 starsThe Harbours of the Sun concludes the lengthy story that most of The Edge of Worlds spent setting up. In many ways, the conclusions were really good, but it was not quite as tightly written as the earlier books were.That said, there were still so many things to love here. Of course the ongoing relationships between Moon and Jade and Stone, but also all the little descriptions and interactions throughout the book about relationships with other Raksura. The social fabric of the Raksura is
