Tenho que admitir que é meio confuso. Tem muitos termos diferentes e é um mundo com uma fantasia cheia de características.
Mas depois de um tempo você começa a se acostumar e entender um pouco ou então simplesmente ignora os termos e vida que segue kkkkkk

Mas Vale ressaltar que o livro tem um glossário, guia de pronúncia e mapa, então isso ajuda a entender.
No meu caso li sem ficar conferindo isso aí acabou complicando mais.

Eu gostei da fantasia criada.
Achei criativo e diferente porque até agora nunca li algo sobre os dragões virando lua quando morrem, realmente achei isso bem curioso e interessante.

Também gostei dos personagens, tanto os protagonistas como também os secundários.
Adorei o Pyrok como secundário e quero descobrir mais coisas sobre ele pois sinto que ele guarda muitas coisas dentro de si.

A Raeve é uma protagonista f0dona e muito legal de acompanhar, mas tenho que dizer que chega uma hora que fica chato essa coisa de ela afastar todo mundo por achar que as pessoas vão morrer só por ficar com ela.
Sei que teve casos que deu essa impressão para Raeve e por isso a pessoa vai lendo de boa e entendendo. Mas chegar no final e ela ainda com esse pensamento começa a ser chato e dá a impressão que ela acha que o mundo gira em torno de si.

O Kaan é o típico personagem cadelo pela protagonista e eu amo isso. Desde o início já suspeitava do plot envolvendo a Elluin e a Raeve, então isso me ajudou a me prender mais na leitura, porque sinceramente se fosse só pela sinopse eu nunca teria lido esse livro já que não gosto quando o cara já amou muito uma outra garota antes da protagonista.

Sinceramente não sei se curto tanto o plot do final envolvendo a Kyzari.
Acho que iria gostar mais se ela ainda fosse uma criança, mas ela já é uma adulta aí me lembra que teve muito tempo perdido que poderia ter sido momentos felizes.

Estou ansiosa para ler o próximo, achava que já tinha lançado, porém ainda vai lançar esse ano. É uma pena porque acho que vou esquecer de muita coisa kkkkk

This book completely swept me away.A richly woven romantasy filled with dragons, mystery, magic, and a slow-burn romance that kept me hooked from start to finish. The world-building is immersive and unique, and while it takes time to settle into, the payoff is absolutely worth it.Raeve’s story was my favorite part—unraveling her secrets and past kept me turning pages nonstop. Every layer revealed made me more invested in her journey.And the dragons? 🐉 Incredible.If you love emotional fantasy, hidden truths, and unforgettable characters, this one is a must-read.

4⭐ book 📖3⭐ audiobook 🎧I really liked this book a lot, but I couldn't fully fall in love with it.This might be due to 2 different reasons:1. Emotionally drained from concluding the ToG series - no more tears available (this has nothing to do with the book per se, but it might have impacted the way I felt towards it while reading)2. The writing style was quite demanding - very dense and requiring a lot of effort, especially coming from someone whose first language is not English.Other than a lot of phrasing and words I'd never encountered before, there were also a lot of new fictional words with a vast glossary at the end - and for some unknown reason the X-Ray functionality wasn't enabled? Such a waste - it could have made the reading so much smoother instead of going back and forth.Going back to the general review though - I loved the plot and the complicated world building (so complicated that I still haven't fully figured out what power each bead indicates... and yes, I know it's written in the glossary 😅).I read this through the eyes of a grieving woman who has suffered so much that she prefers to bury everything inside - she'd rather feel nothing at all than face the pain of losing what she loves most.As for the MMC - for the first time we have a non-broody male lead, but a loving, calming presence. He would still rip the world apart for her, but with a caring patience that warms you from within.Nothing major really happens in this book, but it felt like a promising opening with a lot to unravel across the next 4 books - so many truths still to be revealed.

When the Moon Hatched is a captivating and imaginative read that drew me in from the start. The premise is both unique and enchanting, blending fantasy elements with a beautifully crafted setting that feels both magical and tangible. The author’s descriptive writing style really brings the world to life, making it easy to get lost in the story.The plot is engaging and well-paced, with a nice balance of mystery, adventure, and emotional moments. There are plenty of twists and turns that keep you guessing without feeling overly convoluted. The story flows smoothly, with a nice build-up of tension and anticipation that made it hard to put the book down.The characters are one of the book’s strongest aspects. They’re well-developed and relatable, with clear motivations and growth throughout the story. The protagonist, in particular, is someone you can really root for, and her journey is both compelling and satisfying. The secondary characters add depth and interest, contributing to the overall richness of the narrative.While there are a few moments where the pacing slows down or certain plot points feel a bit predictable, these are minor issues in an otherwise strong book. The ending wraps up nicely, offering a sense of closure while also leaving room for potential future developments.Overall, When the Moon Hatched is a delightful read that combines a charming setting with well-crafted characters and an engaging plot. It’s a solid recommendation for fans of fantasy looking for something fresh and imaginative.

UPDATE- Having read this for the second time I have re-rated it a 4.75 ☆ read. I was able to read through and enjoy the story so much more than the first time. I felt a stronger connection to the characters and there were several moments that pulled at the heartstrings. For anyone who didn't rate this highly, it's worth a second read, I'm so pleased I did. This was my first book by this author and was one I had been excited to get started on. I loved that the book included a map, family tree, glossary, and a pronunciation guide (I wish more books had a pronunciation guide). I spent the first part of the book constantly flicking back and forth reminding myself of the characters, and what things were, which although I was thankful to be able to do, did make it feel like a lot of reading, for not much progress. It was, therefore, only really the second half of this when I started enjoying it properly. I was able to make the connection between the two 'characters' quite a few chapters before it was strongly hinted/revealed, but with so much more mystery to unlock, this didnt take away from the rest of the story. I loved the dragons and thought the idea of them rising to the sky as moons once they were ready to pass away a touching idea. I didn't feel a strong pull to our two main characters as much as I would have liked to, but there was a lot to take in, maybe a second read when i am more familiar would feel different. I can tell there's still so much more to unlock and learn in book two, and I look forward to reading more.

This book was mweh. It wasn't a shit book but it wasn't an amazing book either. There where a lot of scenes that could have been cut. There also where some random things happening that trew me out of the story, sometimes it just didn't make sense. The world building was really confusing, but that might be on me I'm not the best with understanding fantasy rules. However I was confused about things throughout the book which made it boring sometimes because I didn't understand anything that was going on. I did love the female protagonist, I loved her sassy remarks.

This beautifully written world tugs at the reader’s heartstrings. With the political complexities and strife that gets revealed as the story progresses, and Raeve unravels the secrets of her past to gain further understanding of what is going on around her. There are still many secrets to be revealed, and the end has been left open with opportunistic prompts that will further enrich this vast world and the things that call it home.

Kaan & Raeve1. Kaan es todo lo bueno del universo junto en una misma persona (quiero a alguien que hable de mi como el habla de Raeve).2. Lo de los dragones ascendido y convirtiéndose en lunas (explicado en el prólogo) me ha parecido precioso y ni sé porque.3. Me decepciona que el "Comic Relief" solo apareciera en un par de capítulos porque (quitando a Kaan obviamente) es de los personajes que mejor me ha caído.

Greatly enjoyed, seamed a bit "average fantasy" at first but built upon the characters well and presented some unique developements, liked the attitude and touch of crass humour, all in all no reason not to read this book

I love her style of writing and the way she forms her characters. I'm also excited to see how everything plays out. However I'm not the biggest fan of them having that big of a backstory and already having a child. That could change as i get older and i see how it's important to the story
