A review by onewinternight
Liar's Moon by Elizabeth C. Bunce
3.0
3.5 stars. I wish you could give half stars (hint, hint).
I enjoyed the book for 4 stars, but I felt the quality was 3. This was mainly due to the dialogue-which was jarring. It was far too modern sounding, much more so than the previous book. Also, the prose was stiffer. The two main plot twists were expected but well managed.
That being said, I love Digger/Celyn. As with other reviewers, I laud the strong heroine who doesn't spend her time mooning about gender equality, or how skirts are unfortunate symbols of female bondage, or how much prettier other women are, or men's hair, or any of the sundry other things that fill "strong" female character's heads these days. Mrs. Bunce's characters are often a breath of fresh air.
All in all, a good light read.
