Review:
The Knave
and the Moon is a moving, poignant work of gothic fiction.
In this
sequel, things pick up right where they left off with Benji marrying Sybil and
then taking up a tour to the various hamlets of the area to emphasize his place
amongst the elite nobles of the world. Things go awry when an unexpected
challenger shows up to one of the tournaments on tour.
This was a
bittersweet novel. Not much character development here, but it's not necessary
either. Things move quickly, and a lot happens, but there's still more of the
found family aspect I loved in the first here as well.
The novel
wraps up beautifully and things come full circle, so it's worth the payoff.
If you liked the first novel, you'll be more than pleased with this one.
