Moonset by Scott Tracey
4.0
This was a pleasent surprise.
''Moonset'' by Scott Tracey is a YA paranromal about witches.
It is original in the way that there is a male protagonist. (I may live under rock, but I've only read one other YA book with a male protagonist as I can remember)
It also avoids the whole three-way-drama thing.
Now, don't get me wrong, a male protagonist can get into a lovetriangle, this one even falls in love, but it wasn't as angsty as is normal for the genre.
The writing was also a surprise.
It was fast and easy, and I read this almost 400 pages book in under two days!
The only problem I had with the writing, was that some places there were some weird sentences. Almost like a word had fallen out, but the sentences worked on their own, but they got weird. If you understand?
Toward the ending there were also some stupid mistakes.
Its not much, but enough for it to affect the readinexperiense negativly.
As I said, I read this book in only two days.
That was partly because of the easy writing, and because of the story.
Now, I have to admit that I seldom thought ''oh, here comes the action!'' but something must have gripped me, for this is fast reading for me.
The story is full of mystery, and I loved the snipets at the beginning of every chapter, giving a look into the history that made this whole book pausible.
The characters were also good, although I kind of felt like I was missing something.
I just can't put my finger on what.
Maybe I'll figure it out when reading the second book.
I would recommend this if you like witches.
Or if you're first language isn't English, but you're looking into starting to read the language.
This one is an easy read
