3.5 stars. This book was a bit slow for me until about the last quarter.

I thought it was such a good book. I struggled a little in the beginning to keep the momentum of reading going but honestly it was good. There was so much drama. It felt like a good teenage drama. You see how each individual takes on the pressure of trying to deal with what they went through. I really liked the ending and the twist of it. The twist with her mom like holy crap was it good.

This has been the best written book of the series so far. So much character growth happens and it was *chefs kiss* However there isn’t quite as much action and not nearly enough Hysan. Buckle in for some curve balls and a hell of a cliff hanger!

What a cliffhanger! I'm still mad about it though. Why do you break my heart, Ms. Russell? I will definitely be picking up the last book soon!

Black Moon is the third book in the Zodiac series. I've enjoyed the series thus far, so I was intrigued to see where it would go. Sometimes it felt like the plot jumped around, but where the book really shines is in world building. The solar system is populated by 12 houses of people with many more planets and moons. Each house has its own personalities, physical attributes, and fascinating celestial bodies. She describes the various cities that Rho goes to with wonderful detail, building whole worlds in your mind. Each house is home to such varied peoples from the underwater dwelling Scorps with their pale skin and red eyes that allow them to see more in the dark, but cause discomfort in strong light to the tan Cancrians with their blonde hair. Each house embodies a specific attribute and we see that expressed in their people like the ever questioning Sagittarian or the balancing Libran. There's not much to say about the book itself as this is the third in the series, so anything would be spoilers. Highly recommended read for teen/young adult readers who are fans of fantasy, science fiction, and expansive world building.

So happy with Black Moon. While disappointed with book 2 of the Zodiac series, book 3 delivered. Excellent world building, character growth, and high stakes combined with big surprises! However, that cliff hanger was EVIL! Very much looking forward to book 4.
