Summary
An expedition of groundlings from the Empire of Kish have traveled through the Three Worlds to the Indigo Cloud court of the Raksura, shape-shifting creatures of flight that live in large family groups. The groundlings have found a sealed ancient city at the edge of the shallow seas, near the deeps of the impassable Ocean. They believe it to be the last home of their ancestors and ask for help getting inside. But the Raksura fear it was built by their own distant ancestors, the Forerunners, and the last sealed Forerunner city they encountered was a prison for an unstoppable evil.
Prior to the groundlings' arrival, the Indigo Cloud court had been plagued by visions of a disaster that could destroy all the courts in the Reaches. Now, the court's mentors believe the ancient city is connected to the foretold danger. A small group of warriors, including consort Moon, an orphan new to the colony and the Raksura's idea of family, and sister queen Jade, agree to go with the groundling expedition to investigate. But the predatory Fell have found the city too, and in the race to keep the danger contained, the Raksura may be the ones who inadvertently release it.
The Edge of Worlds, from celebrated fantasy author Martha Wells, returns to the fascinating world of The Cloud Roads for the first book in a new series of strange lands, uncanny beings, dead cities, and ancient danger.

Bad Pacing and Drag, Bad Cover Art
The cover is badly done or cropped. It shouldn't be underestimated and is important for attracting new people to an already underrated series.
Though, this book is the worst yet. Thankfully the last book is a return to formula and a great ending. The formula is what bothers me in this book as well since no greater narrative or expounding story beats are introduced to up the anti. There is still Fell, still Raksura and a little more ofc but nothing beyond the main story. The intrigue is kept low as the book drags on for way too long. But then again, I think I also wasn't in a good mood to fully immerse my self this time around. I like the start very much for example. There's also a profound lack of novelty here.

Love this series
Not sure what it is about this series but I love it. This particular book is a bit slower and not as gripping as the others but it’s still good. Wasn’t prepared for the cliff hanger ending though. Can’t wait for the next instalment.
