The Knight and the Moth (The Stonewater Kingdom, 1)

Captivating story with a compelling group of people trying to figure out their place in the world. The plot was entertaining and the world building was well executed. It was slow to start but picked up and ended with an unexpected twist. Can’t wait to read what happens next!

Anticipated this book too much & it ended in disappointment.

Some things I did like

Phenomenal as always

I didn’t love it but it was a fun, jaunty read. Loved the first act, second act dragged, and the third was a whirlwind. The magic system is interesting but not well explained. There was little world building. It’s again something that’s interesting and would’ve benefited from more background. The world kind of felt more of a vague notion and there was no explanation for why things were the way they are. The romance was oddly played out, it seemed sudden. Like everyone else reports, I did love the gargoyle, he was probably the most well written character. If you’re looking for high fantasy, you’re not going to find it in this book. But if you want some fun to read that’s not much of a challenge, I’d recommend giving it a read.

Beautifully written story & world. It’s a refreshing and well written book and a FMC is unlike most. We are given a women who is unconventionally beautiful, as well as strong, stoic, and brave. Our MMC is also wonderful, not pushy, not vulgar. Just a guy smitten by a women he isn’t sure how to obtain. They supporting characters are unlike others I’ve read, giving each a story that’s equally significant and/or give more switch to the plot at hand. Minimal spice, but what’s there is well placed, laced, and written. Overall is a stunning tale of strength and facing a world against you.
