Book Summary:

Moon has spent most of his life alone or trying to blend in. He was born a shape-shifter, but for most of his life, he never really knew more than that. When the only family he knew died at a young age, Moon was forced to forge for himself.

That is until one of his own kind found him. That was the day Moon’s life changed, even if he didn’t realize it at the time. Now he’s been drawn into a conflict between his people and a violent race known as the Fell.

My Review:

Holy cats. Why did it take me so long to read this series?! Okay, I know I’m only one book in – but I’m going to dive into book two asap because this series is everything. Don’t believe me? Picture Gargoyles (the ’90s cartoon), but for adults, you’ll have a general feel for this series.

The Cloud Roads introduces us to a complex world full of magical creatures, war, and so (SO) much more. Moon is but one character in a surprisingly wide cast, as the world is as expansive as it is fascinating.

Honestly, there’s a lot to appreciate about this series. There’s action, drama, romance, and even some more humorous undertones that run throughout. It made for so much fun to read. I’m grateful that there’s more to The Books of Raksura because I’m already incapable of saying goodbye.

Highlights:

• Epic Fantasy
• First in a Series
• Romantic Fantasy
• Gargoyle Vibes

Trigger Warnings:

• Familial Death
• Isolation
• Sexual Assault
