The Crescent Moon by E.J. Doble

4.0

this was a very fun little philosophical novella that does a lot in a short space. there were a couple of parts that didn't read super smooth (i.e. a comma where i wasn't expecting it, word order, etc) but honestly because doble tackles a lot of very deep topics here i don't think those things are worth getting hung up about, since there's just so much to chew on here. the way doble weaves philosophy and discussing topics like duty and grief and love is really well done and i loved how natural the progression of events felt. i think this would be really neat to read and discuss with friends, and is one of those piece of fiction where you'll be able to find something new on each re-read.
