A Mountain in the Air: A Trilogy by Laura Koerber – Review by Rayne East

A Mountain in the Air: A Trilogy by Laura Koerber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Engaging magical trilogy
This is the complete trilogy.
The first is a short novella “Coyote’s Road Trip” is a unique story with shapeshifters, drama and mystery based in a dystopian world. It takes the reader on a journey told by Coyote. The author has done a fantastic job of bringing the reader into Coyote’s mind and interweaving the world as interpreted by him. There are a lot of layers to the story that will appeal to many readers from climate change to grief and finding happiness in the smallest of things.
“Raven Woman’s Tavern” is a short dark tale which features many characters all trying to survive. I liked the character Raven, she is always observing everyone and everything and has a sense of justice.
“A Mountain in the Air” is the third instalment and brings everything together. I felt a lot of emotions reading this one as it draws closer parallels to our world and the struggles with climate change, habitat destruction, survival and animal migration.
A worthy read.
