The wrap up

Brilliance of the Moon by Lian Hearn

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is and excellent climatic rap up for the events that occurred over the previous 2 novels. There's nothing I can say that won't give away what happens. We all know that things will end in war but what we care about is how the characters survive. Or don't.
The best thing (and this is one of my favorite things to happen in books)is that the afterword tells us that the next book is 15 years later. I always enjoy reading the, where are they now, stories.

Development

Grass for His Pillow by Lian Hearn

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


The second book of the series and it's better that way.
If this were a stand alone book it would be a flop. However, if you're reading the series it's not that painful. The entirety of the novel is character, world and plot development. There are now amazing fights or unexpected developments.
What we see happen is the characters grow and the reasons for acting become more clear.
The best thing about this book is that you now when it ends that the next book will be full of conflict.
