Cloud Realm: Chronicles Of Ingarde 1

Rating:
Summary: Swords and sorcery meets Darwin-gone-mad
Review: This is for anyone who enjoys getting lost in new worlds. Smith blends the adventurous flavor of swords-and-sorcery fantasy with Darwin-gone-mad species creation to produce a world populated with fascinating creatures that mesh into a plausible but wholly fantastical environment. The cloud whales and their symbiotic crews are wonderful, the pace is engaging, and the reader is presented with some new marvel at every turn. The logical framework surrounding the magics lend them an intriguing plausibility. Smith is a new author of imagination and promise, well worth encouraging.
