I read a lot of Dark Epic Fantasy books, but lately have had troubles coming across any good kindle books. When I saw War of the Moonstone, I wasn't too interested in reading it. That all changed when I started reading the book of course. To sum it up, I am obsessed with this book. The book's foundation is laid on the basic Good vs. Evil war with characters who are obviously good and characters who are bad, but what set this book aside from other books I have read was the development of the characters and how well they were written. In the book we are presented with a cunning, willy bad guy charged with infiltrating a noble family that has control over a key city of the humans. You know that he is a bad guy as he is introduced as one in the first couple of pages, but when he infiltrates this city he acts like a good person. Now you're probably thinking "well of course he is, he is suppose to be tricking these people into thinking he is good" Well ya, but you, the reader, start to forget how bad this character is. You forget that he is the bad guy. He's murdering the good guys and yet somehow you still love him. That is how well this character is written. He is so well written that you start to hate the main good guy of the story. Eventually the bad guy is converted over to the good side, but at this point you start to hate him. It's as though you are feeling everything the main good guy is feeling and it is absolutely amazing. I love how the characters develop along with the plot. Jack Conner doesn't just heap on the development randomly, He steadily grows on the characters right up until the climax of the story.Jack Conner has written an amazing dark fantasy. He has taken original themes and created something amazing. I look forward the reading more of Jack's work in the future.
