Crown of Moonlight by K.M. Shea
4.0
3.5⭐️
This was definitely an improvement over the first.
While it was till rather randomly progressing, it moved better.
The author spends too much time on irrelevant scenes, like everyone having tea, conversations with staff. They just don’t need the spelled out dialogue, it doesn’t move the story.
The big fight scenes are stuffed with page after page of detail, with us knowing ‘exactly’ how it will end.
Biggest issue however is the FMC intelligence.
One part awesomely smart, next part oblivious, slow, dense. The author makes her smart, or dense depending on what fits, according to the stories desired outcome.
It’s obvious, ridiculous, and lacking character believability and continuity!
However.
Humour improved this book, despite the night mares absence (a big disappointment). Still doesn’t take enough advantage of the animals, sadly.
Regardless, it’s an engaging story, enjoyable, and easy to read.
A little shallow and obvious at times, but I’m still glad I read it.
Don’t hope for satisfaction romantically, it’s weak and insubstantial.
It seriously needs a good editor to point out the flaws, consistency gaps, and add depth to sections … and this would be a 5⭐️ Story.
Intend to keep reading. Seriously want to find out the answers and reach story completion.
I WILL believe it gets better
