"Moonblood" Book Review

This week, the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance is introducing Moonblood Bethany House Publishers (April 1, 2012) by Anne Elisabeth Stengl

MY REVIEW:
I read the first book in this series when it originally came out and I knew we had a new speculative fiction/fantasy voice on our hands. Somehow I missed the second one in this series and then picked up the third book. Alot has happened since the first book ended and it took me a little while to figure out who everyone was again and what was going on. That is to be expected anytime you pick up in the middle. I don't recommend doing that, it is much smarter to start at the beginning and just go straight through enjoying everything as you go. Despite my rebellious nature of skipping around in the series, I was still able to meet back up with the characters and enjoy this story of love lost, love found, dragons and knights, evil and good... it is quite wonderful. I just suggest you start at the beginning and go in order!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Moonblood Draws Near, and Soon the Dragons Will Wake

Desperate to regain the trust of his kingdom, Prince Lionheart reluctantly banishes his faithful servant and only friend, Rose Red. Now she is lost in the hidden realm of Arpiar, held captive by her evil goblin father, King Vahe.

Vowing to redeem himself, Lionheart plunges into the mysterious Goldstone Wood, seeking Rose Red. In strange other worlds, Lionheart must face a lyrical yet lethal tiger, a fallen unicorn, and a goblin horde on his quest to rescue the girl he betrayed.

With the Night of Moonblood fast approaching when King Vahe seeks to wake the Dragon's sleeping children, Lionheart must discover whether or not his heart contains courage before it's too late for Rose Red . . . and all those he loves.
