I NEED everyone to read Kingdom of the Two Moons ASAP and come talk to me, because I’m still not okay with it!! And let’s take a moment to appreciate Caryan—the darker, edgier version of Rhysand I never knew I needed. Morally DARK gray? Check. Mysterious and POWERFUL? Check. My new book husband? 1000% yes. I hate to say it, but he add him to my list with Rhysand, Xaden, Anathema, and Kingfisher… and I don’t say that lightly.

What makes this book stand out is how fresh it feels compared to so many other romantasies. Sure, we’ve got a powerful and enigmatic MMC, a traumatized but strong FMC, and sizzling tension—but the world-building is next level/top notch. It’s got The Cruel Prince vibes, a magic system reminiscent of Throne of Glass, and a love triangle that actually HURTS (in the best way though… and I’m not a love triangle girly). Melody, our only human in a fae world, goes through such a raw and realistic transformation. Blair is female rage personified (obsessed), and Riven? Dark, deadly, and devastatingly attractive. The multiple POVs worked so well, making it impossible to put down.

And don’t even get me started on the romance. The tension? The slow burn? The forbidden longing? THE scene? It’s steamy without being overly explicit, and somehow, that made it even hotter. I’m already dying for more! —Thank you, NetGalley, for the eARC!

Thank you NetGalley for sending me this e-arc. It was such a pleasure reading it. Humans,angels, elves, witches,nefarians,sirens,dryads,fauns & oracles what more could you want in an epic romantasy!
Lots of magic, dragons,demons & more. Really great character building -their personalities really coming through, world building is written in such detail that I could clearly visualise it in my mind, great pacing not too slow, I couldn’t put the book down. I’m really looking forward to the release in march :)

✨Thank you, Netgalley, for the chance to read an e-ARC of this book.✨

Kingdom of the Two Moons is an epic fantasy, with decent world-building, some amazing characters, a pretty cool magic system, and an array of mythical creatures (angels, elves, witches, demons, oracles, fauns, and much more).

This book gave off serious ACOTAR, Throne of Glass, and Fourth Wing vibes, and as much as I enjoyed the vibes, it is also the main reason why I didn't rate the book 5⭐️. I just felt like I had read it all before; I could pretty much guess where the story was headed.
!!BUT!!

I still had a great time nonetheless and will 100% be reading the sequel.

I loved both MMCs, Caryan and Riven. Caryan is a dark fallen angel and Riven his second in command. Caryan is a much darker version of Rhysand! And I'm here for it!
The FMCs I also enjoyed, especially witchy Blair. Blair is my spirit animal! The clapbacks that came out of her mouth... priceless! I also kind of liked Melody, but in certain scenes she seriously annoyed me.

I need to mention Ronin! I absolutely loved Ronin. A witcher with a beautiful soul. He's giving Lucien (ACOTAR) energy.

There's also a bit of a love triangle situation going on between Caryan, Riven, and Melody, and it was intense.🥵
Do I recommend it? Absolutely ✨

I ended up really enjoying this book! The beginning was a little slow, but I feel like it was needed to get where we ended. I love books with different POV’s and I hope we get some from Caryan in the next book! I thought the world was created really well, I really hope we get to learn more. I enjoyed learning about Blair through the flashback chapters it made me understand her so much more. I hope we get some for Caryan and Riven in the next book. I definitely will be trying to read the second book whenever it comes out.

ingdom of the Two Moons is a captivating romantasy that swept me into a world of magic, intrigue, and complex characters. The story follows Melody, a young woman whose life has been a series of imprisonments due to her unique abilities. Her journey from captivity to the enigmatic Court of the Two Moons, ruled by the fallen angel Caryan, is both thrilling and emotionally resonant. The intricate world-building and morally gray characters kept me hooked from start to finish. I especially appreciated the depth of Melody’s character and the tension between her and Riven, Caryan’s loyal lieutenant. The novel masterfully balances action, romance, and suspense, making it a must-read for fans of epic fantasy and star-crossed lovers. While the plot is richly detailed, some readers might find certain aspects complex, but this complexity adds to the immersive experience. Overall, it’s a stunning debut that leaves me eagerly anticipating the next installment.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC copy!

Ok that ending was a wild ride. Overall, I really liked it - I will say there were TONs of similarities of other well-known characters like Rhysand, Manon, Tairn, and Theon but they obviously were unique in their own way. I loved both the MMCs and I honestly could not decide which direction I was leaning towards. Both are not nice but they are nice if that makes sense?? And my twisted mind kinda liked it??

Both the FMCs were INTERESTING and I am sooo curious to know why fate brought them together. I will say it was tough to get into it because the world building kinda confused me and the writing was so fast paced. I also wasn't a huge fan of "boy" "my little girl" or "child" when there was some SPICE TENSION so that's why I gave it a 4 in my honest opinion.

- enemies to enemies?
- touch her and well you know
- banter and spice
- love triangle??
- multiple POV

Netgalley eARC

I’m still hung over from this book, the plot , the spice, the world building HOLY MOTHER OF GOD was it’s delectable!!!!!!! If you’re trying to get over your ACOTAR/Quicksilver hangover here you go!!! But then youll have a new hangover 🤣 loved this book!

This book was so so so good! I really enjoyed the book from the very first page to the last and i cannot wait for the second book to be published! When this book is available, we will be ordering this one to the store :P

Kingdom of the Two Moons had so much potential and I enjoyed it, but overall I had some mixed feelings which is why I've rated it 4 stars instead of 5. The world building is ambitious, when you open the book you're hit with the glossary which is FULL with magical creatures of every variety and detailed descriptions of each race. I'm newer to fantasy so I found this a little hard to digest and felt like I had to make notes to keep track of everything for later. There are angels, fae, elves, syrens and more - plus a unique magic system that felt fresh, but also a little overwhelming at times.

When starting this book I found it hard to follow. I wasn't quite sure what the timeline was, where the characters were or what was happening. I found some of the flashback sequences quite repetitive. Also, the lore is thrown at the reader all at once and I was confused about the relationships between the characters (Blair's mother/mothers for example). That said, once I settled into the story about 20% in, I found myself intrigued by the characters.

My favourite part of this book was of course the romance. The chemistry wasn't always fully convincing but I felt like the tension and the spice made up for it, I also LOVE a true slowburn which this was. I loved Caryan, he was like a darker, more complex Rhysand and I found his backstory and motivations made him more interesting than a traditional romantasy MMC. I also loved his dynamic with Riven, so fun. Melody and Blaire were interesting and unique as FMC's, particularly liked Melody's reactions to her situation it felt quite realistic.

Overall I'd say this is a strong, immersive fantasy which readers of ACOTAR/ Quicksilver and similar books would probably really enjoy. It was a slow start and some confusion at the beginning held me back but by the end it was hard to put down. Definitely worth picking up if you love dark fantasy, morally grey MMCs and a good love triangle.

Will do a tiktok review soon. Thank you for the opportunity to read this! x

Please see link for full review on Instagram. This book had amazing potential, and I read it really fast. However, it had too many stark similarities to Sarah J Maas’s books and spelling errors that took away from the story. Thank you for the opportunity to read!

I really enjoyed Kingdom of Two Moons by Alexandra Thomashoff. The world-building was rich and immersive, and I found myself completely drawn into the story. The characters felt real and well-developed, and I loved following their journey. Some parts were a bit slow due to heavy descriptions, but overall, the plot kept me engaged. While I wish a few side characters had more depth, the book was still a great read. Definitely a solid four-star fantasy novel!

This book was a real mixed bag for me.
I didn’t really get into the story properly until the third act.
I enjoy a multiple perspective story as much as the next guy but this one didn’t really add anything for me. Whenever it was one of Blair’s chapters it was either a flash back (which never really added anything new to the story or give an insight to Blair as a character. It all felt very repetitive ) or felt like it was interrupting the story.
That being said I really didn’t end up likening the characters. By the end they felt more 3 dimensional and have a lot of potential to grow in the next book.
The story does interest me and it definitely wasn’t like your dime a dozen romantacy you have on the shelf these days. Melody was fresh and reacted as you would expect a girl thrown into a dangerous and new world would. Although the romance could be worked on, there isn’t really one moment that the men endear themselves to her, they’re just……attractive men?
But watching the MMC’s interact with one another and then Melody was interesting. Having to guess when they’re lying to her, each other or themselves kept me in my toes.

The writing style got progressively better throughout but I think some editing could do this book wonders.

Kingdom of the Two Moons is an absolutely stunning fantasy novel that captivated me from start to finish. The story introduces a unique world where magical beings like angels, elves, witches, and faes exist, and the stakes are high as they navigate a world ruled by the powerful, morally complex character of Caryan, a fallen angel. His vision of peace through rigid order is tested by the presence of Melody, a vulnerable human who embodies hope and emotional depth, challenging Caryan’s perception of what is truly worth fighting for.

What sets this book apart is its rich world-building, which provides a detailed and immersive setting for the characters’ struggles and growth. The characters themselves are deeply layered, with Caryan being an intriguing and multi-dimensional antihero whose actions are driven by a desire for peace, but at the cost of personal freedom. Melody, the only human in this world, serves as a symbol of hope and resilience, her emotional journey resonating on a profound level.

The romance, which is both dark and passionate, adds further depth to the story, with the tension between Melody and Caryan building gradually. There’s also a well-executed love triangle that brings even more complexity to the narrative, adding both heartache and passion.

Overall, this book blends epic world-building, complex characters, and a gripping plot into something truly special. It’s a novel that stands out in the crowded realm of romantic fantasy, and I am genuinely amazed by how well the author has crafted this world. I can’t wait to see what comes next in the series!

Well deserved 5 ⭐.

Thankful netgalley for the arc

I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend that you read this!

The magic system was so unique and the work building was on point. I couldn't put this down and read this is a couple of days! I loved all the characters and felt so invested in all of them.

I adored this book!! Absolutely ate it up!! I loved the dynamics between Caryan and Riven, I loved the magic system and the interweaving of Blair, melody and Caryans stories!!! It was so beautifully written and so original compared to anything else l've read!! Cannot wait for book two and I highly HIGHLY recommend this to fans of Quicksilver or Fourth wing

*thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

Omg what a ride! I absolutely devoured this!! Can't fault it ! This book delivered and then some!!All the stars !

The world building of this book is amazing. The individuals while following the same general plot and ideas of magic take a unique spin with a different definition of existence. The characters feel real, as in their troubles and worries become my own and my heart reaches for Melody as she’s a captive both in reality and by her nature. Caryan is the MMC who is thorough, meaning I feel as if I wasn’t rolling my eyes at his nature or antics. I was in love with Caryan the moment I met him.
Blair is my heartbroken soul who I relate to and feel for.
When a book makes the characters real enough to invest yourself into the well being of fictional friends it’s an amazing one. I couldn’t put this one down.
