(  ) jennybeast | Apr 14, 2022 |  ) zombiibean | Nov 20, 2020 | My name is Sera Lighthaven. I am a Cerulean and I am going home. I dunno what I just read but I think I liked it? Half of this is an alien girl trying to go home, and her fellow alien friend trying to seek her out. The other half is the sparring kids of a rich p-playwright(??), trying to carve themselves a little corner where their father or the reputation of their family can't get to them. It's weird. There's a talking tree. A little water creature that lights up like a rainbow when it speaks. A literal city in the sky and the utopia of lesbians atop it. I seriously think I can just keep listing things as I try to figure out what my thesis is. I mean, I enjoyed it, but it's a stable, inoffensive 3 stars because for all it's weird parts, it never really went there. It mostly was just a serious of slow pitches and idle curiosities. (  ) Chyvalrys | Aug 5, 2020 | Characterization: Okay Recommended: No Reading Level: Upper high school Review: I was hopeful about this book when I picked it up, but as I kept reading I just didn’t really enjoy it. It has the “not like other girls” trope in two of the main characters. The world in which the characters live is a cool concept, but I don’t think it was executed as well as it could have been. Then there’s also the issue of the lighter-skinned people from Pelago being the “nice” ones and the brown-skinned people from Kaolin being the oppressive and cruel ones. I didn’t connect with any of the characters and the writing style left some things to be desired. (  ) SWONroyal | Aug 29, 2019 | keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

From New York Times bestselling author Amy Ewing (The Jewel) comes the exciting first book in a new fantasy duology. Rich, vivid world-building and ethereal magic combine in an epic tale that's perfect for fans of Snow Like Ashes, These Broken Stars, or Magonia. Sera Lighthaven has always felt as if she didn't quite belong among her people, the Cerulean, who live in the City Above the Sky. She is curious about everything--especially the planet that her City is magically tethered to--and can't stop questioning things. Sera has always longed for the day when the tether will finally break and the Cerulean can move to a new planet. But when Sera is chosen as the sacrifice to break the tether, she feels betrayed by everything in which she'd been taught to trust. In order to save her City, Sera must end her own life. But something goes wrong, and Sera survives, ending up on the planet below in a country called Kaolin. Sera has heard tales about the dangerous humans who live here, and she quickly learns that these dangers were not just stories. Meanwhile, back in the City, all is not what it seems, and the life of every Cerulean may be in danger if Sera is not able to find a way home. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

When Sera is chosen, much to everyone's surprise, she's reluctant, but the culture of her small world has no room for exception. When she allows her arms to be pierced so her blood will flow freely, her fall toward the larger world begins, but she neither dies, nor severs the connection, creating not only chaos on her world, but a different sort of havoc on the planet below. It involves two countries nearly at each other's throats, a cold-hearted and greedy father, his son and daughter, as well as a cast of quite interesting lesser players, including magical ones. I'm eager to read the sequel. (
