First Book of the Raksura.
Moon has no idea who he is, never mind what he is. He’s different and has never seen another person like himself. He’s a shifter, can fly, and is living among groundlings. But he’s forced to flee often when his secret is discovered.
He’s learned to trust no one, with good reason, but when someone who looks like him saves his life, he reluctantly agrees to accompany his new friend Stone to Stone’s colony.
It’s a tale of self discovery, facing one’s fears and hopes, and learning to reach out to others so we can find a place for ourselves in the world.
There’s an interesting romantic subplot, which is crucial to Moon’s decisions, but does not drive the story.
Lots of suspense and action as Moon helps Stone and Stone’s people defeat the dreaded Fell who pray on everyone.
Very well written, with powerful female characters, lots of character development and complex and intriguing world building.
Will definitely read more of this series and Martha Wells in general.
