When the moon hatched

This book was just WOW!! The world building was unique and well done. It took a hot minute to get use to all the different words and creatures but once I did I was hooked. Pro tip: there’s a glossary in the front, refer to that often. I read this on my kindle so that made it a little difficult.  

There was a lot of gore at the beginning and I struggled with it to the point I almost DNFd but I’m SO glad I didn’t because this quickly became one of my top reads this year!

When the moon hatched follows Reave, an assassin who works for rebel forces. Her goal is to make the kingdom she lives in a better place; Until she seeks revenge due to a tragic event and gets caught. She’s thrown in the dungeon to wait for her trial where a mysterious man comes by and is immediately drawn to her. He’s feeling crazy because he swears he knows her and she has no idea who he is but she’s drawn to him and unsure why. 

Reave is a strong FMC who doesn’t take anyone’s crap and gets things done. 

Kaan is chefs kiss. He is everything! 

The love story is so heart wrenching, achingly beautiful. The spice is spicing 🥵

There are so many twists and turns that keep you guessing. 

The relationship between fae and dragons was so well done and different than your average story.
