Book Description
======
I’d seen this book highly recommended several places and finally got
around to picking it up. I loved it! There were several places throughout
the book where I just couldn’t put it down. I just had to see what happened
next. Rather than have this high tension environment throughout the
book, Ms. Moon has interspersed scenes that are more relaxed and contemplative,
which makes for a very well rounded read.
I absolutely loved the prolog. Those first two pages set the tone for
the entire book. I’m halfway through the second book, DIVIDED ALLEGIANCE,
as I write this and I can say that it continues in this tone of storytelling.
The best thing about this book is Paks, the main character. In the first
page of the first chapter, I was immediately sympathizing with her.
She wants action and adventure, not to marry some pig farmer’s son.
She wants it so bad that she will defy her father’s wishes and run away
from her family and everything she’s ever known. I was hooked right
away. Throughout the book, we experience with her all the joys of military
life: recruitment, training, marching, her first battle. These are all
done vividly and realistically, making the reader feel as if they are
actually there. Paks’ feelings and thoughts become ours.
Not only is Ms. Moon’s characterization brilliant, but her story is
engaging, too. I get the impression that most of this book was just
set up material for the rest of the series. There were numerous small
things that were hinted at in this book that I’m sure will turn out
to have great impact later on. On its own, this book is a brilliant
military fantasy. The villain they end up chasing around the country,
though not actually shown until the very end, is expertly developed.
The things he does to prisoners, his tactics, and the way he treats
his subjects all combine to make for a nasty villain.
I really enjoyed this book. If you like fantasy, but are looking for
something different than the usual fare, this will definitely satisfy
you. Brilliantly developed and engaging characters, great narration,
and an exciting story all add up to take the reader on a thorougly rousing
ride.
