My brain needed this break from all the *spicy* reads.
Actual stars: 4
Format: audio, libro.fm
What I liked: This reads like P.C. Cast's other books, quick plot, light character development, and problems you see coming that no one is slowing down for. Although the plot points seem very predictable, I like the original elements of the story with the moon magic and the elementals. Maybe there are more books like this, but I haven't read one (at least not recently) and I enjoyed this feeling of freshness, especially after all the very predictable romance books I've been reading.
What I didn't like: This is pretty predictable, girl gets magic and then ends up the ultimate savior of the world (well, they don't say that, but it's the same story as so many others). There isn't a lot in the way of character development and I never trusted the one character who seems to betray us so either I'm super smart, or that wasn't well hidden. Maybe this is a 3.5 star book, but I really enjoyed it and I needed the change, so it is a 4 star book for me right now.
Did I enjoy it? Yes, it was a great switch from what I've been reading. I don't know if I'll continue the series.
Who I'm recommending this to: All the teens who come in and are looking for traditional YA fantasy, which this definitely fits (and is good for younger teens too because the romance is there, but there is a single kiss)
