Moonset

Moonset (Legacy of Moonset Series #1) Although I was genuinely excited about the premise of Moonset, the book just didn't hold up for me. I expected witches, magic, and of course the danger alluded to in the synopsis. While I was given some of these things, most of the book was really more contemporary in nature. Teenagers trying to find themselves, trying to uncover their past, and awkwardly navigating high school.
 
I wasn't a big fan of most of the characters. Justin did grow on me after a while, with his fatherly tendencies. I liked Mal okay too, but mainly because he was one of the only characters who was calm the majority of the time. We won't talk about Jenna. Honestly, I'd have turned her into a frog long ago if I was her sibling.I'm certain there will be plenty of readers who love this book but, truth be told, it just wasn't for me.
 
Too much descriptive writing, not enough forward movement or character development. Truly a pity, since I was so ecstatic to read it originally.
