review 1: Moondance of Stonewylde continues straight after the events of Magus of Stonewylde and sees our heroes of Yul and Sylvie continuing to struggle to overcome the evilness that is the Magus! :D As in the previous book the characterisation is spot on with many characters that are fundamentally decent which is used to contrast many of the characters that are pure evil! :D Throughout the book though we get to see some more shades of grey with many other characters somewhat on the fence about what is going on! :D Throughout the book you are shown many characters perspectives in addition to the main ones which you can see lines being drawn between those who support magus and those who support Yul and Sylvie in the later books! :DMany of the scenes in the book are somewhat horrifi... morec nature and you were there you would be stepping in order to save the day and the ending is particularly chilling reinforcing the pure evil of the ruling party so to speak! :D As again with the first book you get to see much of the Hallfolk and the Villagers lives and how they contrast and dovetail throughout the events that take place in Stonewylde! :D This leads to many competitions between the characters as well as seeing some surprising mixing of the two separate groups which include throughout the book to the fact that at one point Hallfolk and Villagers actually got along a lot better with each other than is presently seen at Stonewylde which would clearly imply that some point things may get back to that assuming that Yul and Sylvie are capable of pulling the proverbial rabbit out of the hat! :DThroughout the book the outside world also starts to subtly creepy and a little bit more which seem to be developing and I am sure will have a bigger bearing in future books! :D There is also as ever a bane of humour that runs through even when it is twisted! :D A clear example of this is the special cakes that are often served at ceremonies! :D Then of course there is the new secret ingredient is brought in from the outside world and a bit more kit to them! :D LolThroughout the book you can see that there are changes afoot but they are delivered in a very fluid and subtle way which you had to keep track of in order to guess which way the book is going! :D You get to see the genuine use of magic as well and it also picks up on the fact that many others have noticed that Yul and Sylvie are a little bit different to many of the other people around and that they represent a future challenge to the current the establishment! :DMoondance at Stonewylde is full of mystery and adventure with many things been laid out in this book which are sure to have repercussions in other and the next books! :D Fast-paced with well defined characters, big events and highly recommended! :D
review 2: Wow...That was my first thought to the ending. Even though it was strong writing and plot, I actually did see some of the things happening, but I really really mad at Clip!! He says hes nothing like Magus/Sol but he's disusing his powers, that he says is a gift, but a curse to everyone else.In the last book I loved Sylvie and Yul's relationship, but in this book I did find them quite cheesy. However I still love them...I'm unsure if I will read the next book, as I didn't really like this one. But I loved how the author made the characters seem so...alive! Real! Only a gifted writter can do that :) less
