Blue Moon Rising by Simon R. Green
4.0
Originally a friend lent me this book as one of her long time favourites years ago. I loved it then, and marvelled at the quality of the writing and the fun the author had with the story.
Re-reading it recently, I felt the same way as I did back then.
Interesting characters hold your attention and make you care about how the story develops, and funny little satirical elements still resound with me the way they did when I first read this book.
I can't help but wish that Green had kept the same quality from this, his first novel, in his other works, which while still enjoyable, lack the depth and attention to detail he demonstrated here.
Definitely worth a read, and definitely not a fantasy-by-numbers.
