This was an intriguing story based in a world in which a magic-using fantasy world is increasingly plagued by deadly wild magic “miststorms”, while in the skies above are high-tech floating cities, the population of which has forgotten the existence of surface dwellers, but are facing their own crisis as many are coming to realise that the cities are slowly loosing altitude.
It is in this setting that the young Nimhara - the one chosen to be the leader and “Living Goddess” of her people sets out to to follow a prophecy to find a fallen star...and it is in this setting that Prince North of the cloud city Alciel discovers his glider has a problem (it's on fire, rarely a good thing) and crashes to the surface below.
Romance and adventure ensues.
I had somehow overlooked the fact that this is only book 1 in the series and was rather shocked to realise that the book ends on a cliffhanger. I look forward to the sequel.
I DNFed this one. I wasn't too keen on the writing style and I didn't like Nimh. I loved the idea of above and below and with the gods. I liked north but... eh wasn't for me.
I may try reading it again but I don't know.
