Everything I have to say about Serpent Sea is positive.
In Serpent Sea Martha Wells has given us a mystery, a moving island, and an arrogant neighbor. A waterfall fell out of a knothole nearly big enough to sail the Valendera through, plunged down to collect in a pool on one of the platforms, then fell to the next, and the next, until it disappeared into the shadows below. from the lower part of the trunk, greenery platforms extendet out, multiple levels of them, some more than five hundred paces across. The multiple layers of branches reached up like giants’ arms, and the trunk was enourmous, wider around than the base of the ruined step pyramid that had formed the old Indigo Cloud colony. Moon’s experience with living in trees has not left him wanting more. What is left of the Indigo Cloud Court, after the Fell have decimated them, travel onboard the two wind-ships, the Valendera and the Indara, to their ancestral lands, the Reaches, to find a Mother Tree to live in. Unfortunately, Moon’s past leaves him expecting to be kicked out of the Indigo Cloud Court. In return, the Court shows Moon that living forever in a place can be a good thing. Through his example, he shows others that changes aren’t necessarily a bad thing and that there are options to traditional patterns. Moon, who takes the lead, changes form in mid-air and joins in hunting for and guarding the Court, is a person who will not accept Raksura strictures. Generally, they are obedient and do not raise their voices. He said, “Tell the others.” He leapt away from the boat, shifted to Raksuran form in midair and caught the wind.Ĭonsorts are raised to be timid creatures and do not learn to fight. Moon caught hold of the railing and slung himself up to crouch on it. He thought it was going well so far.Īs much as the world of the Court confuses Moon, Moon confuses the Arbora (cannot fly) and Aeriat (can fly). Moon had been consort to Jade, sister queen of the Indigo Cloud Court, for eleven days and nobody had tried to kill him yet.
When Moon came to the Indigo Cloud Court he knew only what Shade had told him of their ways. We cross invisible lines and are called socially deficient. Aspies are often life-long newcomers to the places they are born.
Small communities, in particular, have a difficult time with newcomers, because those newcomers shake up their beliefs about right and wrong. have their own rules and regulations (written and unwritten) that must be followed to avoid being ostracized.
