Ilustration As Books The Ships of Air (The Fall of Ile-Rien #2)

Known for her lush, intricate worlds and complex characters, acclaimed author Martha Wells has delighted readers with her extraordinary fantasy novels of daring and wit. With The Wizard Hunters she launched her most ambitious undertaking yet -- the return to the beloved world of the Nebula Award-nominated The Death of the Necromancer and The Fall of Ile-Rien. Now the saga continues in a triumph of suspense and imagination.

Despite a valiant struggle against superior forces, the country of Ile-Rien has fallen to the onslaught of the relentless Gardier, a faceless army of sorcerers determined to conquer all civilization.

To save the remnants of her country, former playwright Tremaine Valiarde undertakes an epic journey to stop the Gardier. Rescuing the proud ship Queen Ravenna from destruction, Tremaine and a resolute band of sorcerers and warriors set sail across magical seas on a voyage of danger and discovery. For the secret to defeating the enemy -- and to rescuing the world from the Gardier's inimitable hatred -- lies far beyond the walls of the world, and only the tenuous ties of friendship and honor will keep the band together.

But the Gardier are not the only evil in this tumultuous world, and an ancient terror stalks the ornate rooms and shadowy decks of the Queen Ravenna -- a force so malevolent and enigmatic that even the growing power of the sorcerer's sphere may not be enough to save Ile-Rien from utter ruin.

Crit Appertaining To Books The Ships of Air (The Fall of Ile-Rien #2)

This is an excellent sequel. Good in plot, pacing and characters, adding and developing them and the worlds they inhabit.

This book should be called "The Shipping Ship" because that is what I spent the whole book doing.

I've always considered good books essential for my mental health, and they've become all the more crucial during this long quarantine period. As far as I'm concerned, the more fantastical, the better. So I'm delighted that I happened to check this book out from the library before it closed. (Although, not to make you all jealous, but my awesome library is actually doing CURBSIDE DELIVERY during the shutdown).I'm rambling. The point is, there is nothing more cathartic than immersing myself in

I'm really enjoying this intellectually fierce heroine.

Premise: Sequel to The Wizard Hunters, Some spoilers for Book One follow. Tremaine, Ilias and their friends from both worlds try to cement the temporary alliance between their peoples. The great passenger liner Queen Ravenna is brought between the worlds to assist in an attack on the Gardier base, only to become a floating home for the combined group of Syprian delegates and refugees from Ile-Rien. New loyalties are created and tested, and hidden dangers on the ship threaten the fragile

The first half of the book is a little slower than the predecessor novel and reads more like a... steampunk fantasy locked-room mystery, sort of? The action picks up in the second half with more brave acts of derring-do, etc., just enough resolution to be satisfying but just enough cliffhangers that I'm desperate for the library to let me get my hands on the third.

I don't know. I loved her first two Ile-Rien books so much. This one just seemed....long. The main character is just such a mess, it is hard to be excited spending time with her. The world is interesting. The writing is good. But the whole thing could probably have been about half as long and it would have been awesome.
