Moonlight A fractured Celtic SEVEN SWANS reimagined Crowns of the Twelve Book 2 eBook Ann Hunter

Moonlight by Ann Hunter is another interesting and engaging story that will unleash your imagination and have you following each character closely while wondering how important decisions will affect the lives of others. I was happy to see this book turned out to be a prequel to The Subtle Beauty which I had also just read and reviewed and enjoyed. It was nice seeing the story of the characters in that book unfold and both stories to inter relate.

In Moonlight, Aowyn is growing up in a household with six brothers and her and her mother are extremely close. Caitillait, the housemaid brings an uneasiness to Aowyn's mother... something she can't quite explain but she keeps it inside and does not send her away because she feels she doesn't have good reason to. Sadly Caitillait is not what she seems and has a part in the reason Aowyn's mother dies. She casts a spell on Aowyn's father and they end up sending the brothers away and turning them into swans.

Aowyn wants desperately to help her brothers and to reunite her family and make them all see what has been happening. So she turns to Silas Mortas and makes a pact to help her brothers but things go from bad to worse and once again good and evil are pitted against each other.

I don't want to give the whole story line away so I will leave you guessing at what will unfold! Some adventure, some love and a story that will touch your heart. Another great read from Ann Hunter and one I think you will really enjoy.

Moonlight A fractured Celtic SEVEN SWANS reimagined Crowns of the Twelve Book 2 eBook Ann Hunter Reviews

I was not financially compensated for this post. I received a copy of the book for review purposes. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience.

Moonlight is full of fun and adventure and peppered with action. While I found the book an entertaining read I was left yet again longing for more character development. Hunter's characters continue to be hollow shells begging to be further developed. This certainly attributes to the length of her novellas. While the characters have personality the changes in them are so abrupt. The romance between Aowyn and Xander is disjointed and forced. Additionally, I found the plot to be a bit muddy and a lot of the motivations behind Caitllait were never explained. The use of Gaelic words while meaningful and fresh often left me confused about their meaning. I continued to feel unsympathetic towards the characters yet, Aowyn and Xander were a lot easier to accept as likeable. Aowyn's brothers are treated poorly in the novella and I almost don't care about their plight. Hunter simply did not devote enough time to the brother showcasing their personalities.

The subject matter dealt in this novella is aimed at a younger age demographic. With this in mind, there are several episodes of sexual exploits that make me hesitate to recommend this for a young adult. Again with Hunter's work the story was very predictable. Yet, the one thing I was intrigued by was the actions of Sylas. It will be interesting to read his story and see his journey since he appears to be the most dimensional character in any of Hunter's books.

Ann Hunter is a detailed writer with imaginative storytelling, and she spins a tale that is sure to entertain an avid reader in the fantasy fiction genre. Moonlight has some fun fantasy elements, yet much more time in her story should be devoted to character development.
This was definitely NOT like the cartoon movie my daughter watched in the 90's. This princess did not turn into a swan, but her 6 brothers did, seemed kind of odd referring to her as the swan princess. I don't know for sure, but I think this was meant as a Y/A book, though I don't think it would be good for the younger ages of Y/A.

The whole story was just too sad, between the deaths of her Mother & of 4 of the 6 brothers, the strange romance, the emotional abuse on Xander by his father & brother, over all made this just too sad for my taste. I don't enjoy reading stuff like that. I also didn't relate to the names of all the characters, though they may be from the Celtic origins of the story, they were just to confusing & most were too similar sounding to follow, I kept getting confused of who was who. There were quite a few incomplete ideas or gaps in the story that left this reader puzzled of intent or what happened or having to backtrack to see if I missed something. Like who/what was Sylas Mortas? He could have been any kind of creature, but I wanted to know what, to help me understand where the story was going with him. What was the bargain that Aowynn made with him? I was very confused over that bargain, took me a ways in to figure out her silence meant no speaking. Or who/what was Crwys? How did she inhabit the body of Ciatlllait? Were they separate identities? & what did some of the pharses translate too, like "Go dtachta an diabhal thú"? I don't know if that's Celtic/Gaelic or whatever, but I need a translation in order to appreciate it in a book written in English. The overall flow was very slow & choppy, I almost put the book down. The characters aren't super likable, the majority of the brothers were not likable in my opinion. Princess Aowyn was ok, not the type of heroine I would have thought. Xander, just seemed odd until near the end. Just not enough background/world building to get more of a feeling for the characters to like them.
