Sixteen year old Serafay had lived her entire life in hiding, having been shunned by the Sualwets - the people of the sea and the ancestors of her mother, and hunted by the Erdlanders - the people of the land and the other half of Serafay's genetic makeup. One day, a mysterious and handsome young man, named Torkek (Tor) wanders into Serafay's safe cove while her mother is away. Sera, feels an instant connection to him, despite the fact that he himself is part Erdlander.Two Moons of Sera is a serial novel, this being a review for Vol. 1. I had never read a serial novel before and admittedly, I was not sure what to expect in such a short story. I also am not a huge fan of fantasy, so I did not have great expectations, but I decided to give it a try anyway.  I was very pleasantly surprised.Pavarti Tyler does an amazing job of setting the scene and developing the characters in this first volume. Pavarti's writing is flawless, and the story flowed beautifully with vivid scenes and plenty of build up. I was instantly and completely drawn in to Sera's world after just a few pages. In fact, my intention when I first started Two Moons, was to just read the first few lines, to see if it would be something I might be interested in, as I was already in the middle of reading another book, and as I said above, I'm generally not a big fan of fantasy. Well one hour later, my family was eating a very well done dinner - I had completely shut the rest of the world out to dig deeper into the lives of Sera and Tor.I also have a copy of Volume 2, which I plan on starting tonight. I cannot wait to read more! I guess that other book I had been reading will just have to wait a little longer.The author provided me a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
