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

Reflecting on my experience with this book, I thoroughly enjoyed it, although it didn't quite reach the high notes I had hoped for. The first 200 pages posed a challenge for me, but I connected with the story once I got past that point. Initially, I struggled to warm up to the main character, Six. I found her a bit petulant and stubborn, but as the story progressed, she evolved beautifully, allowing me to appreciate her growth and maturity by the end. The slow development of her relationship with Rory was a highlight for me—his bad boy knight persona was just too appealing, and I loved watching them soften toward one another. Then there are the gargoyles! Even the antagonistic ones were a fantastic addition to the story. The background of how the gargoyles originated and the poignant backstory of Six's own gargoyle added an emotional layer that I found quite moving. The final twist completely surprised me. Despite early warnings from the Omens, I never saw it coming, which made me eager for the second book!

9⭐️ “Oh Bartholomew, he’s dreamy”, no Bartholomew, this book is dreamy, as in haunting my dreams and every waking thought since I finished it. I loved this book, one of my top reads this year. Gothic vibes and a talking sassy Gargoyle? YES Amazing banter between the fmc and mmc? Obviously, you twit 😉 Lovable character and found family Slow burn Unique plot and idea for romantasy The Knight and the moth and a unique gothic romantasy that follows Six from being an esteemed diviner who reads omens through her adventures outside the diviners cathedral. Will she be able to read the omens of the outside world and find the answers she seeks? As she seeks these answers, her squire, the bat like gargoyle and a handsome knight aide her along the way. I seriously cannot recommend this book enough, it has the best one liners, amazing banter, the story is so unique and the world building is enthralling. Where can I get a gargoyle squire?

Good comedy & interesting story!

Just casually standing in my kitchen at the end of this going “wtf????” I NEED the second one like yesterday. One of my new top 10 favorite books.
