Mages in war-torn theocratic land attempt to build a rocket to reach the moon.
This is a wonderfully imaginative tale with a great mix of magic, science, politics, and religion coming together to create a rich world. The reason I don't rate it higher is because I found the technical details of building the rocket to be excessive; this is largely a matter of personal taste, and people who enjoy nuts and bolts will no doubt get more enjoyment out of that aspect.
