A charming steampunk adventure, that reminds me a bit of old-fashioned science fiction stories where cuddly sentient animals and plants befriend lost Earth explorers. I liked it, but I don't truly care for that type of cuddly plant thing, so I probably won't read more in this series. (Provided by publisher) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

When Emilie and Daniel arrive in Silk Harbor, Professor Abindon, an old colleague of the Marlendes, warns them that she's observed something strange and potentially deadly in the sky, a disruption in an upper air aether current. But as the Marlendes investigate further, they realize it's a ship from another aetheric plane. It may be just a friendly explorer, or something far more sinister, but they will have to take an airship into the dangerous air currents to find out. Emilie joins the expedition and finds herself deep in personal entanglements, with an angry uncle, an interfering brother, and an estranged mother to worry about - not to mention a lost family of explorers, the strange landscapes of the upper air, and the deadly menace that inhabits the sky world.

I liked this even better than the first! Emilie now knows her travelling companions better -- her relationships with them, and their relationships with each other, are more important both to her and to the narrative. She also has one of her younger brothers tagging along after her, challenging her. The result is an adventure that’s much more emotionally compelling and allows Emilie more opportunities for personal growth.
I listened to the audiobook and Channie Waites’ narration was excellent, too. ( )
