The Cerulean by Amy Ewing

3.0

I received an e-ARC from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. Review can be found on *Milky Way of Books*

The new series by Amy Ewing begins with a city on the sky and four different POVs which slowly add to the plot. From the City Above the Sky to the ground of Earth we see how magic, science and different roles combine as the characters try to find their own path and grow up.

The pros go to the beautiful descriptions of the City and the magic of cloudspinning. It sounded beautiful. But despite the gorgeous cover and the beauty of the premise, there wasn't much development to the plot and Leo was the one character I didn't like. Also with four POVs the action didn't feel balanced enough. It might be an issue of my own but don't let this be your main factor. And also for a City of high Intelligence and magic, learning from the start that they had only oral stories and NOTHING WRITTEN was a dead giveaway to the sinister path behind its glittering visage.
