Here we are first introduced to Moon, an orphaned shapeshifter with no idea who he is or what he is. As such, I started The Cloud Roads with the advantage of being already familiar with the characters and the world, but being able to go back and read the first book to see how everything started was a great experience nonetheless. Up until this point, I had only read one volume of the Raksura short stories as well as The Edge of Worlds which is formally the fourth book of the sequence but can also be read as a jumping-off point for a new era of the series.

Publisher: Night Shade Books (March 1, 2011)įinally making good on my promise to go back and read The Books for the Raksura from the beginning, I decided to pick up The Cloud Roads with the SF/F Read-Along group. Series: Book 1 of The Books of the Raksura Of course, you can also review backlist books any day you want, as often you want, but be sure to watch for her post at the end of the month to link up!

Every last Friday of the month, she’ll be posting a review of a backlist book and is inviting anyone interested to do the same. Backlist Burndown is a new meme started by Lisa of Tenacious Reader. As a result, one of my goals this year is to take more time to catch up with my backlist, especially in my personal reading pile. Backlist Burndown: The Cloud Roads by Martha WellsĪs book bloggers, sometimes we get so caught up reading review titles and new releases that we end up missing out on a lot previously published books.
