When The Moon Hatched
A Slow Burn That Ignites
When the Moon Hatched is a spellbinding journey that takes readers deep into a realm where magic flutters like the wings of a dragon and romance weaves through every plot twist. At first glance, the pacing can feel really slow, with the author inviting you to step carefully into this enchanting world. But just like sipping a fine wine, the slow build is an experience that should be savored.
Parker's evocative descriptions of the dragon moons are mesmerizing, elevating the scenery from mere backdrop to an integral character of its own. The elemental magic system is richly crafted, making you feel the weight of legends that linger in the air. The initial chapters might test your patience, but trust me, the wait rewards you with layers of detail that become the backbone of this adventure.
As you turn to chapter 6, prepare for a delightful jolt! If you just hold on for this long you’ll be fully invested. For me this is where the story truly came together and I was able to focus on the FMC and not the world around her. The introduction of diary entries shifts the narrative into overdrive, unveiling tantalizing secrets and enchanting mysteries that knit the past with the present. It's a clever mechanism that pulls you deeper into the story, making you relish each page as you piece together the rich tapestry of events.
From this pivotal moment, When the Moon Hatched transforms into an exhilarating odyssey where mythical creatures frolic alongside our heroes, perilous quests beckon from the shadows, and the unexpected becomes utterly normal. Each twist in the plot is more captivating than the last, making it impossible to turn your gaze away.
For me, this is when the story truly unfurls its wings and takes flight. Once past that enchanted threshold, I was spellbound and simply could not put it down. So grab your favorite reading corner, cozy up, and allow yourself to be whisked away by Sarah A Parker’s enchanting tale. You won't regret the adventure!
This book created a buzz over the summer on Booktok, and for good reason. With romance that pulls you in faster than a dragon can swoop down to snatch its prey, I can’t believe it hasn’t garnered even more attention.
At the heart of the tale are Raeve and Kaan, whose chemistry is downright electric! Raeve, a fierce and independent spirit, defies the typical damsel-in-distress trope. She’s intricately woven into a rebellion set on toppling the crown, showcasing her resilience and bravery. On the other hand, we have Kaan, a complex character torn between loyalty to the throne and his feelings for Raeve. Their love story is sizzling with mystery and tension, making you root for their happiness despite the odds stacked against them and the secrets of their past.
One of the most refreshing aspects is how Kaan respects Raeve's autonomy. When push comes to shove, he supports her actions, letting her take the reins and go off on her own while still having that protective spirit lurking beneath the surface that we all truly crave.
The narrative is enriched with multiple perspectives that give you insight into the minds of our leading characters, and those mysterious diary entries peppered throughout the story add an intriguing layer to the plot. When Raeve’s world turns upside down after being captured, a chance encounter with Kaan brings their past and uncertain future crashing together. It’s a gripping twist that keeps the pages turning!
With a perfect mix of romance, adventure, and a good amount of spice, "When The Moon Hatched”, is a treasure for any romantasy fan. It's the kickoff to what promises to be an enticing series. However, a word of caution: book two, “The Ballad of Falling Dragons,” isn’t set to hit shelves until at least October 2025. So, if you prefer not to hold onto your heart for too long, you might want to keep this one in your back pocket for later.
In conclusion, grab this story if you're ready for an enchanting escape filled with adventure and a romance destined to make your heart flutter. It’s available on Kindle Unlimited and worth every moment spent in its pages! If you want the hard copy book trophy for your bookshelf like I do you get get it on pre-order with beautiful blue sprayed edges. Happy reading, book lovers! 🐉💖
