cencula 's review for:

When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker
3.5
adventurous dark emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
The world building just wasn't there for me in this one in the ways I was hoping. There could have been such a better use of the dragons and the politics surrounding these characters. Let's also not forget to mention the absolute heightened use of gore and violence that just acts as an excuse for Raeve to continually run away from doing hard things. I appreciated Parker's attempt to add depth with some chapters from other viewpoints but I wish there had been more of that and less frivolous musings from Raeve about how everyone she gets close to dies. Kaan and Veya were more complex characters and I'm hoping there's more from these siblings in the next book.
