An impossible journey with danger at every turn...

Emily, Navin, and their crew of resistance fighters charter an airship and set off in search of the lost city of Cielis. There they hope to find help from the Guardian Council's powerful Stonekeepers. It's a mission that Alledia's survival depends on, and time is running out--Emily's got to find Cielis before the Elf King finds her.

Ahh yes, I am loving everything about this series, the plotline, the world building, the characters, the art style and the writing style is just A+ fantastic in my book. I especially love the beautiful world that Kazu Kibuishi created. The world is well built and just such very fantastical and mystical world that I just get lost in the pages just looking through the art of this mystical world of Alledia. I absolutely love the mythical creatures in this world there are quite the characters. Especially Miskit and the crew, they all are just beautifully crafted even the evil creatures are utterly amazing crafted as well. I don't want to go into a lot of details about The Cloud Searchers because I don't want to be a spoiler. But Emily, Navin, and their crew of resistance fighters try to find the lost city of Cielis to go there and find the Guardian Council's powerful Stonekeepers. To see if the Guardian Council's will help them save Alledia from the evil elf king. First, they have to find information where to find the lost city of Cielis. They go to a bar to try to charter an airship, but what the get is laughed at and be called insane to believe such a lost city ever existed in the first place. But there was one airship crew member that actually believe there is such a lost city of Cielis. But of course, the crew run into some trouble while they were at the bar. I am going to leave it off here let's just say trouble and mayhem happen for the crew after the bar incident. The crew also have new members to fight the elf king, but I won't say who they are because of its spoiler. I am just going to say I am very glad and happy that they finally joined the crew to save Alledia and fight the elf king. All and all I absolutely loved and enjoyed everything about The Cloud Searches, that I can't wait to read The Last Council next!
