| Plot Summary of The Empress of Earth |
|---|
"In the third book of the Roads of Heaven trilogy (read the others first), Silence and her friends finally make the journey to Earth - but, because of a problem landing, they are trapped there. The real highlight of this book is watching Silence et al explore Earth - things we know rather well - from their culture of musical "magic" and so forth. Really interesting. "
