Moonshadow's Guardian by Dianna Gunn
3.0
I really enjoyed this book. Characters include a demon haunted by her past, a royal family of vampires, mages with a bone to pick, and a loveable dragon. This is fantasy with a slight political element, and a world that the author only touches the surface of in terms of its rich history and fascinating ruling families. There are some elements of our main character that remind me a lot of the MC from the Throne of Glass series, that they both share a dark past that spawns nightmares and at times crippling fear, and the possibility of finding new love after letting go of an old one. So if you enjoyed that series, this book may be right up your alley.
The story is interesting and switches between two character perspectives, using past events through our main character’s nightmares to provide more context to what is happening. Our main character’s demonic profession was something I thought was intriguing, and I wish we could’ve spent more time learning about her world when she wasn’t summoned to the mortal world.
I wish the author would’ve done a bit more world building in this first book, something that I think is important when setting the stage for current events being caused by the layering of bad choices historical figures made and the devastating effects on the countries and populations. These elements seemed mostly on the surface for me when they could’ve gone a lot deeper and been more detailed for even richer context.
Overall, I still enjoyed the journey this book took me on, and I will be continuing with the series when the next book releases.
