Kingdom of the Two Moons
by Alexandra Thomashoff
DID NOT FINISH: 11%
Thank you to NetGalley and Last Unicorn Press for the eARC of Kingdom of Two Moons!
I want to start with saying that this book definitely has potential! However, I did DNF around 11% as the writing style was really pulling me out the story. From what I had read we were switching between two characters: Melody and Blair which I did enjoy as I love a good multi-pov story. What I struggled with was Melody's chapters were in first person while Blair's chapters switched over to third person which caught me off guard every time we made the switch. Pacing of the story was another spot where I struggled, we would jump from scene to scene with no mention of how we got there and instead of feeling like I was in the story with these characters I felt like I was just having them retell me the story because of the big jumps between scenes. I will say overall I was enjoying the characters and the story! I love a good badass FMC and I felt like both Melody and Blair would be giving those vibes later in the story.
