My name is Sera Lighthaven. I am a Cerulean and I am going home.

This was such a new and refreshing concept! I struggled a bit at first to keep everything straight, from the Cerulean culture, to the creatures and characters involved. That being said, you really get sucked into this world where an “alien” species lives in a city in the clouds above a humanoid planet below. There are so many dark secrets that have yet to be revealed, and I’m excited to see how this duology concludes!

If this was an adult fantasy, with darker themes, this book would be incredible. While the underlying premise was amazing, it needed to be darker-in a twisted, fantasy way.
I loved the world Ewing created-from the three mothers, to other planets, to the different unexplored cultures we only got glimpses of.

I really enjoyed this story. The ending defiently left me needing the next installment to be in my hand simmediately! Sera, Errol, and Agnes were some of my favorite characters. I really like the way the author did the story in parts and how she ended up merging the two together. Thanks for this scifi/fantasy gem!

Wunderschöne, fantastische Geschichte. Amy Ewing schafft es einfach Welten zu erfinden, die voller einzigartiger Magie sind. Wie bereits in der Juwel Reihe, bewundere ich ihr Geschick Charaktere zu beschreiben, lebendig werden zu lassen, ihnen Leben einzuhauchen. Auch Nebenrollen haben unglaublich viel Farbe. Ich liebe es, dass es der Autorin gelingt, den Charakteren glaubhafte Entwicklungen durch Entscheidungen, Lebensumstände,... Anzuhalten. Schöner Auftakt.

So glad I choose this book to start off 2022!
This book flows Sera who is cerulean. A magic “race/alien” of all female people who live on a city that moves though space. The cerulean move every few years to different planets and attach the city to the new world they pass with a thing called the tether. To break this tether a ritual takes place that a cerulean is to sacrifice her self and Sera is the one chosen.
And twins Leo and Anges are humans that live on the planet Sera’s home is attached too. On this planet there are two countries Kaolin and Palago. Both have strong tension/ dislike between countries with their way of life, religion and resources. Kaolin is very conservative, men first society. Where Palago is a more open and free place.
Something goes wrong and Sera ends up on Leo and Agnes world and they discover the difference between each other’s races and society’s. While Sera works on how to get home and save her world from danger, she also unknowingly helps Leo and Agnes discover their true selves.
This book was so good and got me out of the reading slump I felt myself fall into. It’s part of a duology and this book dose end on a big cliff hanger though so if your gonna read it yourself I’d get both books together.
——-————————————————————————————
I’ve noticed a few people getting triggered over Sera coming from an all female world, where it’s the norm to be lesbian. But Sera finds she is not. She’s basically her society’s version of gay. (And Anges is her worlds version of gay)
This seems to have upset some people for some reason with her being this. Causing low reviews and deterring others from giving this a read. It’s quiet saddening because I found this was a really good read and would definitely give it a shot before avoiding it.
Happy reading :)
