Moonblood by T.W. Fendley
4.0
adventurous emotional medium-paced

Have you ever put a book down once, and then regretted not reading it sooner?  I did. With this book. I had issues with Netgalley a while back, and I couldn't download this book within time. I was bummed. But fortunately, it popped up on @storytel.in and I had to pick it up. And, OMG THIS BOOK WAS REALLY GOOD AND SURPRISED ME !!

Moonblood follows our main characters: Blaire and Ari where they try to understand worlds so different from what they know. Its a story about accepting changes, finding new things to love and fighting for what you want and what is worth. It has unique world building with the concept of immortality, Adam and Eve and then their offsprings being Kanes who are humans. I was really intruigued by the classification and loved exploring more about the world. 
Our main characters grew so much over the storyline and it was such a good character arc as well. I really liked tbe writing style and it made the characters and the storyline pop out a bit more. The story had a really good found family trope among the side characters and I really liked that. Even though there were elements that made me wary, it wasn't done in a bad way. I could understand that it was a part of the world building. Coming to Character arc, I think I loved both Ari and Blaire's development. Although I might be partial towards Blaire because I could relate to her more! The only thing I wasn't fond of was that ending. It was a good one, but also an easy ending. I would have loved more repurcussions and some conflicts. With the amount of pain the different people had to go through with the system, it would have made more sense. But it was still a good ending with some closure for everybody. Overall,  really enjoyed my time reading this book and I definitely recommend if you are looking for some different Dystopian influenced fantasy with some really good characters!
