Review:
Moon Deeds is a very interesting and character driven futuristic sci fi adventure. It paints the picture of Earth, but it has been changed with the invasion from extraterrestrial life. The magic that is mixed in with a futuristic science setting, makes it really interesting. There were times that the book felt more like an epic fantasy and then changed gears to a true Sci-Fi novel. It is true to the rules that it has set for itself, and leads to an interesting premise for the characters.
The strength of this novel was the characters. The reader spends a lot of time with the twins and it was an interesting dynamic to see the differences between them. They each have their strengths and weaknesses, making them feel real and interesting. There were times through the novel that I struggled with some of the pacing. It was interesting, but not overly exciting. That being said, I still wanted to know what would happen and it was easy to move to the next page and chapter. I did a combination read of both audio and physical, which definitely helped to get through some of the pacing issues that I had.
This is a futuristic tale of invasion that adds some of the really cool magic elements that I always like in a true epic fantasy. I really liked the world that was developed, with the tension between surviving and escaping. The emotions of the characters were real and the questions of what was happening definitely can hook a reader into wanting to know more. Make sure that you have your deed and claim a parcel of the moon to sit back and enjoy a good read of Sci-Fi magic adventure.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review. As always, happy reading and Stay Great!!
