A review by drownedworld
Cloudbound by Fran Wilde

5.0

There are few writers who worldbuild as well as Fran Wilde. She continues to explore the world she introduced in last year's UPDRAFT but this time through the eyes of Nat which I found immensely satisfying. To me, the world in which characters inhabit is the most important aspect of a story so I relished the opportunity to learn more about the society (especially its political scene which in many ways resonates with our current election cycle) through his eyes. I enjoyed seeing Kirit and the ramifications of her actions in UPDRAFT from someone else's perspective, too. And then you have the final part of the book which is one brilliantly executed action scene after another on top of revelation upon revelation that makes me wish HORIZON was out today!
