A review by song
The Harbors of the Sun by Martha Wells

4.0

I enjoyed this book so much and read it voraciously but in the end I wish it had devoted less chapters to action-plot and more to character-relationships... maybe that's what fanfic is for, but the latter is really the strength of the series!! i wanted 100 more chapters of malachite and pearl, and about the integration of the half-fell flight (sorry to shade but I wanted him to meet consolation so bad) (and not to say the plot was not good - it was). the biological evilness of the fell is still an unfortunate choice, but I appreciate the simplicity of the first book more now that I'm at the end of the series and can see how the author sets up some expectations just so she can bend and break them later. it's been a while since I've read a series that has the time to breathe and live within itself
