Two Dark Moons by Avi Silver
5.0
WOW!! This must be one of the best books (if not THE best book) I read this year. I usually don’t write long reviews but this warrants one.
Two Dark Moons is gripping from the very first page. The premise is intriguing, and the world building is fantastic. I loved how the lunar cycles were incorporated into names and identities, and how it was later challenged. I think the characters were multi-dimensional, real, raw, strong and vulnerable all at once. I don’t even have a favourite, because I love them all. There are many parts of this novel I identified with, and some that were so poignant that I think they will stay with me for some time. I got chills, goosebumps, and overcome by feelings throughout. I don’t think that this book was in any way predictable, which made it really exciting to read. It felt like pulling back a curtain to a window of another world that we just get to explore through these characters. I felt like I was reading with the same passion the author must have put into it, because it was such an intricate mix of completely random things that somehow worked perfectly together. By the last page I was crying my eyes out, had gone through half a box of tissues, and felt like I just wanted to scream into the void. This book is amazing and I NEED to read the sequel ASAP.
Avi, if you’re reading this. I am a huge fan. You are incredible. Please don’t ever stop writing. The world needs you. ❤️
