♥ *flails* ♥

I don't know what to say except that this book is as awesome as the first part. ♥

The story is engaging and plotty and thrilling and so on but the characters? OMG! The characters!!!!!!

I've lost my heart to Moon the very first page of the first book and now all over again. ♥
Jade - I want to be her!
Chime - can I just hug and cuddle you and never let you go again?
Root - loud mouth but not stupid, no no, certainly not stupid!
Stone, Balm, River, Vine and everyone else - I love you! Seriously, I love you all!

The worldbuilding? A swimming leviathan so big that a city is built on it? The Ket - a people living in the roots of the giant trees and I don't know how to describe? Waterlings with big hands that could pluck a Raksura out of the sky if they fly too close to the water surface? ♥

I had so much fun reading this book, so many scenes I had to laugh out loud, so many great, wonderful character scenes, action scenes, thoughtful scenes and sad ones. ♥

I discovered that I have a new button (that's been getting pushed in the first book too but I didn't realize that it is a button) - Moon being used as a pillow by just everybody and he has to put up with it and is just a bit grumpy about it. *g* So much *awwwwwwwwwwwwww* for that.

Also, the little ones (Frost, Bitter, Thorn) all being so very attached to Moon and once again he has to put up with it and does it while being not that grumpy? :D

And now I have to wait until December for the next part. :( *wahhhh*
