Another great read. Again, I really loved how Fran Wilde opened up her world more and more with each installment. I also appreciated the fact that this book was a little more open about its depiction of a poly triad relationship. The previous book didn't really outright state that this was what was happening, and it took me at least half the book to figure it out, while this one straight out says at one point that they're all romantic partners.

The final volume of the Bone Universe series, it turns out that ground based adventures aren't as compelling as ones at the top of the bone towers (Updraft) or in the mysterious clouds (Cloundbound). I kept dozing off while reading, though that is probably as much the fault of dachshunds that insist on food at 6 AM as the pacing of the story. Issues of scale keep intruding to keep disbelief at bay, but the journey of the characters still has something to recommend it. ( )
