![]() ![]() I love his uncertainty, his trust in Nimh (more on her in a sec), and how he accepts that he may never return to his home. He’s science minded, extremely smart and yet entirely naive of the dangers he now faces. That’s why his ancestors devised a way to move their cities to the sky. He’s been taught that nothing can survive on the surface. ![]() North is a boy from Alciel, a prince actually who finds himself crash landing his glider into the Below, with no hope of rescue. I could write an entire post about just the world and what Spooner and Kaufman have created here, but let’s move on to the story. There are so many fascinating creatures and plants to explore, magical mist that will either kill you with a touch or bless you with magical abilities, living gods and ruthless kings. One world, split into two, the city in the clouds or Alciel and Below. Yes there are some interesting characters who you will become invested in, but the world is just fantastic. The world building is the basis for this book. Technology is evenly balanced with magic as is science and religion. The authors take everything I love about fantasy and meld it seamlessly with science fiction. ![]() The Other Side of the Sky is the newest book from author duo Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner and the first in a brand new duology. ![]()
