My little moon witch
I really enjoyed this book enough for four stars.
However, the world building took me a hot minute to truly understand who was who where was what. I don’t know if maybe I was reading while my kids ran around and missed that they were in basically two different worlds but I did.
Once you get into the understanding of who each character is and where they live I couldn’t put it down. I was dying to understand who Maeve was and how she fit into everything.
I knew her uncles and step Grammy were going to be no good. Then the uncle being a pervert and touching dead bodies really slid it home.
You know I love when there is symbolism in books and her getting the BLACK DRESS AND scorpion necklace, EPIC. When she sang to Branimir I loved it, because he just wanted peace and quiet. She immediately wanted to free him and I hope we see more of them in the next book.
I’m curious to see what happens with her sister, because it looks like she was kidnapped by the crone witch but I’m wondering if she turned into something that needed to be locked up, but the crone witch didn’t tell Maeve so that’s suspicious.
All in all I’m excited to see where the story goes and how everything plays out. I have my theories that Maeve and Zevander are borderline reincarnations but we shall see.
