The second half of a compelling and addictive book set! I loved part one for the intensity of the story that was started, the depth of all of the characters, and the detailed description of a medieval world at war. Part two was on that same level, except that the story continued and got even grittier, more emotional, and like a cross between Gone With The Wind meets Game of Thrones, but with even more sex, lol! While reading it, you’re reminded that in that way back time, battles were fought hand to hand in close quarters, met on a field, and so much blood everywhere. I think that Kathryn Moon tells delicious stories that keep you up trying not to have to stop reading even for sleep. I read both parts in two days! I know, crazy, right? I’m binging on this author right now, I know it’s not a sane thing to do, but I think I’m addicted to the words!
“We’ve survived this war—each other, our separation, all of it—just to reach this point together. Don’t deny either of us the joy of being together.”
I think I have said it before, but this author is one that I can usually count on to give me a variety when it comes to reading her books. Reading Sol & Lune, gives me the chance to read historical-ish, war time love story with all its feels. It was such a very long time that I have read a historical romance, but the author in her usual fashion brought me this series to dive in.
Sol & Lune Book Two continues the story where it left off from book one. All I can say is that Lumen is such a strong and giving woman. In her time where she lost everything, Lumen found it in herself to be forgiving and helpful to those who needs it. I loved how her relationship with her men has developed slowly but surely and that the men found their own redemption. But most of all, I loved that they have found strength with each other, peace and happiness.
Sol & Lune gave to me something I did not know I needed. I was so thrilled to see the power in the relationships in carried by the FMC. In so many books, it is the male characters that have the power dynamic over the course of the relationships. I don’t want to give anything away and provide spoilers, so I will be attempt to be vague. There are certain intimate scenes (while fun to read) that I have yet to find the FMC as the one in control of the power exchange in these types of situations. I guess I really needed to read this and to see this modeled because it struck home and has left me thinking about the lack of female empowerment in this area in so many works of fiction. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying there is anything wrong with the relationships, BUT I am saying a good balance is not reflected and reading it opened up a whole new craving to see more of it in the future.
As always, Kathryn is amazing, she is always a one-click author for me and she should be for you too!
Lumen, Dominic, Finley, and Gideon have a story with all the feels! This is an incredible second book in this duet. This conclusion sucks you in and makes you feel so many deep and strong emotions through the writing. This is incredibly and beautifully written with amazing details. I could not recommend this book more!!!
Moon has an amazing ability to bring you into her stories and keep you there always wanting more. This story is no different it made my heart have some strong feelings. I felt like I was there joining Lumens journey with her life and her men that was filled with blood, pain, hope and love. Once you start reading you won’t to put it down!
This book has all the feels. It was so good to see Lumen more assertive. Assuming the role of Priestess fit her really well, and Lune’s touch on her brings good as well as bad things. The journey to forgiveness for the men in her life is not easy, but it is enlightening for all parties involved. Change is wrought. Balance brings about understanding and tentative peace. And that epiloge, is the perfect ending for a story filled with blood, sweat and tears.
This beautiful story is so completely good, I almost feel at a loss for words as to how to do it justice. I put off reading the epilogue because I just didn’t want it to be over. With a dark, conflicted beginning, these characters take every but of pain, anger, and war and change it into the most breathtaking story of redemption and love. All find forgiveness, transformation, and light and the life built is glorious in it’s simplicity and compassion. The catharsis that occurs as the characters find their way back to reach other is inspiring and epic. Sol and Lune is definitely the type of story that I’ll want to read over and over.
Oh my gosh where to begin. This series has ripped my heart out, shattered it, and then lovingly taped it back together again. Kathryn is a master storyteller and has woven an intricate and tear jerking storyline worthy of many many accolades. The character development of Dominic, Finley, Gideon, and Lumen is astounding and you are sucked in from chapter one. The second book is such a balm to the broken heart from book one with the love and forgiveness shown by the characters. There is the best HEA to the story so the wild crazy ride is 100% worth it!
I promise this book will throw all the feels at you!
Lumen is the kind of heroine all readers should root for. She’s so incredibly strong. Not just emotionally for herself but for those that surround her. Even the ones that she has tried to distanced herself from. She’s good all the way from her toes to the hairs on her head. She feels everything. When she loves, she does so with everything she is.
The Men…O’ Good God! These men are whew… Freaking Hot! The fight they battle not only within themselves but with outside influences.. is intense. Their guilt is staggering and crippling at times.
The side characters are wrote to perfection too!
This was definitely worth the wait! Beautifully written and gorgeously descriptive, Kathryn Moon has worked her brand of magic again. Recovered from her near death experience, still protected by the New Moon Goddess, Lumen returns to where it all started, Fenn Manor. There, she strips away the trappings of a home and returns it to its former glory as a temple. One by one, her men slowly return to her, earning her forgiveness and re-establishing their places in her heart. A fantastic ending for what started as a heartbreaking tale.
