When the Moon Hatched: A Fast-Paced Romantasy with Undeniable Chemistry in a Stunning Immersive World (The Moonfall Series, 1)

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER THIS NEW PAPERBACK EDITION FEATURES METALLIC AND EMBOSSED COVER EFFECTS!

"A wild ride that thrills as much as it enchants . . . This remarkable book is an instant classic.” — Thea Guanzon, New York Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars

The #1 internationally bestselling phenomenon, When the Moon Hatched, is a fast-paced fantasy romance featuring an immersive, vibrant world with mysterious creatures, a unique magic system, and a love that blazes through the ages.

The Creators did not expect their beloved dragons to sail skyward upon their end. To curl into balls just beyond gravity’s grip, littering the sky with tombstones. With moons. They certainly did not expect them to FALL.

As an assassin for the rebellion group Fíur du Ath, Raeve’s job is to complete orders and never get caught. When a rival bounty hunter turns her world upside down, blood spills, hearts break, and Raeve finds herself imprisoned by the Guild of Nobles—a group of powerful fae who turn her into a political statement.

Crushed by the loss of his great love, Kaan Vaegor took the head of a king and donned his melted crown. Now on a tireless quest to quell the never-ebbing ache in his chest, he is lured by a clue into the capitol’s high-security prison where he stumbles upon the imprisoned Raeve …

Echoes of the past race between them.

There’s more to their story than meets the eye, but some truths are too poisonous to swallow.

When The Moon Hatched breathes new, beautiful life into the genre, as Sarah A. Parker weaves lyrical prose with undeniable chemistry. I laughed, I cried, I got everything out of this. It’s an absolutely stunning fantasy world that everyone should sink their teeth into.” — Raven Kennedy, internationally bestselling author of The Plated Prisoner series

I was a bit scared to start this book because it felt like I had to do homework to follow along. However, that wasn’t the case at all. Honestly, I didn’t look at the map or the glossary, and I was still able to follow the story. I’m sure the world I built in my head was different from what the author intended, but that’s okay. The way she wrote the characters made me fall in love with all of them. I’m really glad I read this book and can’t wait to dive into the next one. I know it’s early in the year, but it’s definitely in the running for my favorite book of 2025.

Readability - 5/5 - This book contains its own glossary, though hard to first get into due to it being its own world and language (in some cases) entirely, this book does take 100+ pages to really start painting a picture in your mind and a bit of back and forth with the glossary. Even with this, the world building and the story is so captivating from page 1, it’s fun to sit down and write out what you remember as you go along and begin to build an entirely new world.
The author, Sarah A. Parker.. Her writing was sublime. It felt linear and I caught on quickly to her writing style and I enjoy how she strung the story together

Characters - 5/5 - Loveable. Hateable. Believable. Interesting. I felt invested in each of their story’s and points of view. I may have cried twice.

Spice - This is debatable.

This book was hard for me to get through. I felt like the author was trying to do too much so there was a ton of plot things happening in different view points to lay all the pieces in place and try to get you backstory that it was hard to follow and you just gathered questions at every turn. The FMC irritated me with her bitchiness and the MMC deserves better. The repeated use of the word "masticates" was annoying.

That being said, once I got to the last 10% and we discovered some things, it started to tie together a little bit. I will check out the next book in 2025 but withhold recommending until I know how the next book is.

Really slow to start, but it's good world building. Once it gets going, it reels you in
