Review: When the Moon Hatched





The Creators did not expect their beloved dragons to sail skyward upon their end. To curl into balls just beyond gravity’s grip, littering the sky with tombstones. With moons. They certainly did not expect them to FALL.

As an assassin for the rebellion group Fíur du Ath, Raeve’s job is to complete orders and never get caught. When a rival bounty hunter turns her world upside down, blood spills, hearts break, and Raeve finds herself imprisoned by the Guild of Nobles—a group of powerful fae who turn her into a political statement.

Crushed by the loss of his great love, Kaan Vaegor took the head of a king and donned his melted crown. Now on a tireless quest to quell the never-ebbing ache in his chest, he is lured by a clue into the capitol’s high-security prison where he stumbles upon the imprisoned Raeve …

Echoes of the past race between them.

There’s more to their story than meets the eye, but some truths are too poisonous to swallow.

Review: When the Moon Hatched is a wild ride. Its is beautifully well written, but very difficult to read. Maybe painfully well written is a more accurate description. 

I found the story hard to get into, but at the same time so compelling I couldn't just put it down. But the book is very long and full of twists and turns, some of which seem a bit irrelevant after a while. It took me a long time to start understanding the plot and the characters, and it felt a bit weird to have random points of view added in a story that is mostly told from Raeve's POV. These are the main reasons I'm rating it with four stars only.

Overall, though, if fast paced fantasy with some epic characters (including dragons) and a star-crossed romance is your thing, the you should not miss When the Moon Hatched. 

Do note that this is book one in a series of two books and you are left at a sort of cliffhanger - and book two has not been published yet. 

Happy readings!
