Oh, there are some structural issues here and there, same as with the Solar Clipper series, but they work because the man knows how to tell a story and make the people in it interesting and more than simply flat.

Finished
Zepheria's Call. Enjoyed it, and I'll definitely be reading the next one whenever it comes out. That being said, however, in
Zepheria's Call, the character of Tanith Fairport develops some more, and we get additional characters joining the plot, but overall, the plot doesn't really get us very far. There is less happening here than in
Ravenwood, and overall it felt transitional. That's not all bad, but it definitely stopped well before I was ready for it to, with an overall feeling of not being as fully thought out as
Ravenwood. While I'd give
Ravenwood a 5, I can't really get past about 3.5 out of 5 for
Zepheria's Call. Worth my time, but not compelling.
