Ebook the night holds the moon book Loved the book Enjoy reading all of Colleen Thompson s books Love the suspense and have a difficult time laying them down once I start reading The Night Holds the Moon Not a romance but a fantasy romp with romantic elements The Night Holds the Moon held my interest from first funny page to the satisfying conclusion I read this lengthy novel in one sitting ending at 5 15 AM because I couldn t stop The storyline is solid the background and story world fascinating and the characters believable lovable and just plain fun Warning spoilers below Two very different women find themselves and grow into their roles in a kingdom ruled by a decadent queen and rocked by political strife Elzin is a lady in waiting to the queen and an unrepentant floozy who is accidentally chosen as the Saire or Keeper of a magical flute that s only ever before been handled by well schooled well bred noble blooded virgins To escape the queen s fury she goes on the road playing the Saireflute before the common people and winning their support at the instigation of Caldan a strange Northern count who s taken this fun loving but naive young woman under his cunning wing.

The night holds the moonp art Colleen Thompson and Parke Roberts deliver solid journeyman prose with some poetic elements blended in There were some places I had to stop and re read a few sentences to be certain I was following the chain of this sweeping story places where plainer writing might have kept the pathway clear But that plainer writing would have detracted from the story s beauty and I can t help but be reminded of the old writer s advice of Never apologize never explain It s possible this duo made the proper choice. The book of night with moon This self published novel has fewer typos editing goofs or formatting errors than many professionally published books I ve read It s common now to admit that such undesirable features are difficult to avoid at any house but Thompson and Roberts have thrown down a formidable gauntlet with this effort Kudos to them for an overall memorable and enjoyable story The Night Holds the Moon The Night Holds the Moon was a pretty good read The central character though this follows epic fantasy pattern by having than one POV character is something of a wanton who is the chosen of a goddess by being the one who can play the magic flute and when she plays it things happen Weird things She s kind of a go with the flow girl who tends to be somewhat gullible and perhaps trusts unwisely She s not really into politics so when politics get all stirred up around her she lets other people take care of things There s a cross country trip magic betrayal politics death you name it it s in here Lots of twists than one of which surprised me Pretty good stuff Give it a try The Night Holds the Moon
