MOON CHOSEN by P.C. Cast is the
first book in the Tales
of a New World Book Series. I am a huge fan of
Cast! I have read so many of her books and my favorite
series written
by her is the House of
Night Book Series. I enjoyed reading this book
and experiencing a whole new world that Cast has created.
She really
took time and a lot of research in creating this unique
world. The many
details and descriptions of the beasts, clans, and tribes
create the
perfect setting for this novel.
The beginning of this book is where Cast sets the tone and
it is a little
slow reading at first. Once this is established the story
quickly picks up
and is worth the wait. While reading you follow alongside
Mari and Leda
as they make their way to their hidden burrow. They prepare
healing
potions using the surrounding leaves and flowers and hunt in
the
dangerous unknown forest, all while trying to avoid Wolf
Spiders. Cast
writes so vividly that you can see the beautiful colors and
sounds of the
nearby animals or men who turned feral after the devastating
the Night
Fever. Everything seems so real that you could almost reach
out and
touch it. The setting is what our world becomes many years
after the
sun destroyed it.
Everyone in this book tries to survive in their own way.
Some you will
fall in love with, while others you will despise from the
start. Cast is
such an experienced and amazing writer which shines through
in this
book. There are so many interesting characters that will
take you on
magical adventures. You will relate to Mari, with her many
doubts and
dreams. Her mother is the Moon Woman from the Earth Walker
Clan.
She is very talented but must hide her true abilities and
gifts from the
Clan out of fear of being exiled. Nik is always on the
outskirts needing
to belong but never noticed. He is the most talented archer
in his tribe.
MOON CHOSEN is full of hope,
loss, fear, failure, love, drama, friendship, and the desire
to rise from
the ashes. Overall, another great read from P.C. Cast.
Anyone who
loves the House of Night Series will love this series as well.
