This book is such an amazing start to a serialized novel! I am so excited to read the follow-up episodes! There is magic and magic IN space! I've decided this is my new favorite thing. Magic for space travel. Magic to give moons atmosphere? Yes! I love it, I want more of it! Selena is a Librarian from a world now destroyed and if anyone were to find out what she truly was, it would mean a death sentence. Demya is her knight and protects them from the harsh worlds that seem to be run by an evil empire.
On top of the truly fantastic world-building, I loved the characters in this one. You can tell how much Demya and Selena love each other, but they're also still grieving the loss of their world seven years before. Yearning for each other, while they're in the same room? So much sapphic angst and my heart breaks for them. You find out in this episode that in the loss of their planet seven years earlier, they also lost their partner Aleksan, until Demya receives a message from Aleksan asking them to meet him at a broken moon. And this episode ended on such a cliff-hanger, I'm desperate to read the follow-up episodes and learn more about this world.
This was a quick read and I was not ready for it to end! I'm eager to see where the next episodes find these characters. And I really want to see more of Selena. Maybe some of the story from her point of view? That would be really interesting to see. This story really just had so many wonderful aspects, I highly recommend it. And keep an eye out for forthcoming episodes from this novel! Episode one is out now and episode two will be released December 28th!
I received a digital copy of this book from Pride Book Tours and the author as part of my participation in their tour.
