Moonbound

This was an absolute delight—a sprawling, epic quest that's both bonkers and brilliant. Ariel, a young boy in a wizard-ruled town, discovers a sentient AI artifact that becomes his guide and ally. This AI, with its vast historical knowledge, leads Ariel through a world brimming with talking animals, sentient weapons, and wizards.

Sloan masterfully blends science fiction and fantasy into a fast-paced, whimsical adventure. The vibrant cast and richly detailed universe keep you hooked from start to finish. Despite its grand scale, the book reads incredibly quickly, making it a real page-turner.

For fans of imaginative and heartwarming stories, “Moonbound” is a must-read.
