Kings of Moonlight by Eva Chase
4.0
Eva Chase is one of those authors I really really admire. I know we all complain about George Martin because it takes almost an eternity before he has his next Game of Thrones book ready, but the other side of the spectrum exists too. Chase is releasing almost (not entirely, but almost) a book a month. And yes, these books are amazing. They have great plots, great characters and detailed and complicated worlds and magic systems. I was therefore really excited to continue this series today.
What I really loved about this series is the pace. I can imagine that for some people these books are a little too slow, but I love how the author gives the characters and the plot the room to develop and grow. Although the plot is clearly becoming more and more political there is still enough time for relationship building. Not only between the heroine and her guys, but also between the three guys involved.
I also love how well the communication between the characters in this book is. Yes, there is this one case where information is witheld, but it was easy to understand why, but in most cases characters hear or learn something and communicate about it right away. Even if they need to be afraid not to be believed, even if they have no idea what they heard or saw exactly. And even though it shows the limits of these characters, it most of all shows their intelligence.
And they need that intelligence. The antagonist in this book, I love how there is a new one introduced every book even though it's clearly one big storyline, is very clever. So, our heroine and her heroes need to be too to beat him. And I loved how the only way they eventually could beat him was working together, communicating and anticipating. I also loved how it involved taking risks and how the heroes were slowly letting the heroine fight with them.
The last line was brilliant, and to be expected of course, and I can't wait to read the next book!
