Demon Moon by Meljean Brook
4.0
You can feel the amount of love and care the author has poured into this book. A part of this book is basically a love letter to south asian culture, and it is just done so well. My love for this author is somehow more than it was before just for that. I imagine there were not many woc badass heroines being published at the time this was released. (Not that there's an overly large number now, but even including current publications, not many done this well.
Okay so I was confused at some parts and that is partially due to my impatience in wanting to find out what happens, and the pacing could probably be better...but that's basically it. Every other aspect of the book is commendable. There's so many layers here, of backstory, of the characters, of the world building. The descriptions alone...and I think I have said this before but this is such an underrated thing. Well established authors, many that I enjoy, idk why, maybe bc its easy or maybe the publisher required it, but they find a successful formula to writing a book and then never deviate from it. Recycled plots, recycled twists, the same point at which to expect conflict or a kiss. The same characters and character traits recycled and it's kind of sad?
I have read at least 8 books by this author, and not a single one has repetitive anything. Each and every single time, the characters are so uniquely different from before, and what's more amazing is that despite being so vastly different you find yourself falling for them and rooting for them anyway. And not only are the characters different but so are the obstacles they face, as is the plot in each book. This author is not out to make money off of a basic formula though she easily could.
Anyways I adored Savi and her brilliance, and her superpowered brain, and her love of family and her quickness to forgive. She was so freaking relatable I didn't know what to do with myself. And only Meljean Brook could make me love Colin as much as i did. Their journey was amazing and I almost feared they wouldn't get their hea. Seeing multiple glimpses of hugh and lillith also made me happy. Solid 4 stars
