Kingdom of the Two Moons by Alexandra Thomashoff
4.0
medium-paced

 Alexandra Thomashoff's debut novel, Kingdom of Two Moons, is an enchanting entry into the realm of fantasy literature. The story centers around a strong female main character (FMC) and a morally complex male character, with a captivating love triangle that brims with tension, keeping readers on the edge of their seats.

Thomashoff's innovative approach to a magic system adds a refreshing twist to the genre. The world-building is meticulously detailed, enhanced by an extensive glossary, making this book an intermediate-level fantasy read. Despite being her first novel, Thomashoff's writing is polished and sophisticated, suggesting a seasoned hand rather than a newcomer.

Pros:
Intricate and imaginative world-building
Engaging and morally grey characters
Unique magic system
Well-crafted writing style

Cons:
May require a bit of patience due to its depth and complexity

Overall, Kingdom of Two Moons is a must-read for fantasy enthusiasts looking for something both familiar and refreshingly new. Thomashoff is an author to watch, and this debut sets a high bar for her future works.
