Cloudbound by Fran Wilde
5.0
This is a brilliant sequel to Fran Wilde's 'Updraft', and continues the story of the Bone Universe. It's told from Nat's point of view rather than Kirit's this time, and takes us straight into the political struggle and maneuvering going on right after the dramatic finale of 'Updraft'.
'Cloudbound' is well-written, fast-paced and emotionally engaging from the first sentence to the last: everything is put in jeopardy here: Nat and Kirit's lives, their families, and the fate of the city itself. It's an often gut-wrenching and heartbreaking read, that left me gasping for breath as Nat discovers a lot more about the city than he ever knew before.
The last few chapters and the ending... well, now... I just had my mind blown (my jaw literally dropped). I won't give anything away, but suffice it to say that I cannot wait for the third installment in this series.
