The Moon Dwellers by David Estes
3.0
OK, so I started reading this series with Fire Country, Book 1 of the sister saga to this series. What a difference a year makes!
I enjoyed the story mostly. I'm not a romance fan, not that I can't appreciate a good story, but romance tends to get a little old for me. Does she like me, his hand grazed mine and my heart skipped a beat..... Ugh, I get it! This one wasn't too terrible, but it did seem to drag on a little much for me in a few places. The writing was also choppier than Fire Country. I can only assume this is just due to progression and improvement with writing over time. Fire Country was so natural, even more impressive really since it was written in their own "language"; which I absolutely loved! Again, I noticed the difference in fluidity, but it wasn't enough to disrupt the story. AND, neither of those factors were enough to make me stop reading the book.
Here's what I DID like. I liked the mystery and intrigue. What is the deal with the pain thing? I hope we get more into that in later books. What is going on with the rebellion? I really hope we hear more about that! How does this tie in to the other series, I know we'll get to that! I hope to see Tristan confront his dad, I hope to learn more about the history of all the worlds!
My favorite thing though by far continues to be the authors ability to weave the story. He builds plots and suspense masterfully. It reminds me of a symphony, were you begin with the individual sections and then they slowly build and blend and lead you to an incredible musical experience; that is how I would describe these books. I've already started reading the sequel The Star Dwellers so I'll stop before I get them confused. In all, great start to a series I'm already incredibly addicted to. I am already worried about what I'll do when it ends.......
