Like the books that have come before it, it’s a rich world populated by bizarre creatures and strange landscapes. From floating islands to winged, shapeshifting humanoids, it’s a feast for the imagination, especially considering there are no humans whatsoever in the series. With this being the beginning of a new adventure, new readers can dive in here if they don’t mind missing out on the references to previous books. For the longtime readers, however, get ready for another fun journey.In this tale, the Indigo Cloud court shares a shared dream of a Fell attack. Then a strange flying vessel arrives in the Reaches. It leads to an adventure out into the ocean toward an ancient, impenetrable city. The Raksura must brave Fell attacks, strange groundlings, and unlock the mysteries of a forerunner/foundation builder citadel knowing their very doom could lie just around the corner. Cloud lies at the heart of the story, serving as the reader’s touchstone as it unfolds. Jade, Chime, Stone and several other familiar characters join him, including the groundling Delin and the sealing Rorra. They encounter new species, secrets and threats.For those new to the Raksura series, it’s not an action packed story littered with violence. Rather it’s a slow build of colorful characters and imaginative surroundings that engulf and submerge the reader. It’s more of a peaceful escapism than an action packed adventure. But there is action, there is violence, and there is turmoil. What begins as a scientific expedition eventually turns into chaos. It also leaves the book on a cliffhanger making the next book in the series a must read.As a fan of the series, I really enjoyed The Edge of Worlds. Martha Wells laid out another exotic trip into the realm of the Three Worlds and the Raksura. There’s peaceful moments, mystery, exploration, discovery, action, pain, betrayal and adventure. The ending left me pumped for the next book and I can’t wait to see what happens next. The Three Worlds is one of my favorite places to escape to, and this book delivers. I give it a five out of five. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Sustainable *by M***C on Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2022* Ok. So it isn’t Murderbot. But the Raksura have an interesting and unique alien culture while remaining relatable. The action sequences are scrambled and poorly described, haphazard in a bouncing ball sort of way, where disastrous outcomes are avoided 99% of the time. So rarely do you feel exhilarated by yet another near miss. Yawn. The strength of the book and this series is in the characters. They are consistent and suitably complex to pull you along book after book. For shear creativity these books are worth the read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful fourth entry to a fresh fantasy series - Any lover of fantasy should give it a shot. *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2016* The Edge of Worlds is a praise-worthy continuity of Martha Wells' books of the Raksura, and, though earmarked as a standalone duology, with the sequel due in 2017, carries the story and characters onward from the third book The Siren Depths.The characters remain relatable, likeable people living in a variety of original societal structures, whose interactions create tension and emotional connections with the reader (even many of the 'bad' guys).The plot, while not strictly original (prophecy of doom; go investigate; do battle), is not stale or predictable, due to the depth of world-building and the author's skill at writing engaging complicating events that link to more than just the heroes' quest.The writing and editing are crisp, with very few errors (only one proof error popped out at me, and a few instances of word-choice). The book contains a variety of text structures that vary pace and create believable dialogue, as well as rich description that invokes all of the senses.I thoroughly recommend giving it a try if you're acquainted with the series; if you aren't acquainted, it might be difficult to enter into, due to the complexity of relationships. New readers should definitely start with 'The Cloud Roads,' or better yet, 'The Forest Boy' short story, to test out the characters and world. You won't regret it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/52518794-edge-of-worlds-volume-four-of-the-books-of-raksura](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/52518794-edge-of-worlds-volume-four-of-the-books-of-raksura) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-21*
