Review of When Copper
Suns Fall
By KaSonndra Leigh
I read this novel as
a chapter a day read, and let me tell you, it was really difficult to hold back
and not race on through! The last five chapters I did read in one setting-I
simply could not wait longer.
This is a very
complex, incredibly well-thought-out, urban fantasy/paranormal/supernatural/alchemical/scientific/dystopian
story, which I am happy is to be the first in a series-because there are a lot
of secrets, multiple characters, and backstory of which I wish to read more!
There is so much content in this book, a fully-imagined and fully-articulated
world-building, much to be admired and enjoyed. Set in a future area which we
today would consider eastern North Carolina, society following “the Tidal Wars”
is very restricted, according to genetics rather than by wealth or merit. Life
is as rigid as during the Middle Ages, and those “without” (commoners) are
restricted to living outside the walled enclaves. Those within the walls are
subject to the governmental entity of the enclave, and the border guards and
“dark soldiers.” It is much worse than the Orwellian creations of “1984.” Even
in such a society, though, rebellion exists, and here it takes the form of
descendants of angels-both the good and the fallen.
I won’t say more
because I don’t want to reveal any of this totally complex and astounding
novel-I’ll just say-if you’re read it, well, read it again. If you’ve missed
out so far-what are you waiting for? “When Copper Suns Fall” rocks!!
Review of When Silver
Moons Rise by KaSonndra Leigh
(Lost Immortals Book
Two)
I have marveled at KaSonndra Leigh’s ability to manifest her
creative imagination and develop a world-building framework that boggles my
mind, since reading “When Copper Suns Fall” (Lost Immortals Book One). Ms.
Leigh’s vast imagination constructs not just one world or dimension, but
parallel worlds, then peoples those worlds with varied species, develops their
backgrounds, connects them, interweaves their secrets and their agendas, all
while making them seem realistic and likely. Reading her novels is akin for me
to viewing a medieval tapestry: so much to see, so much to comprehend, I could
spend hours and days astounded.
For those readers who have already enjoyed “When Copper Suns
Fall,” I can tell you that “When Silver Moons Rise” is even better-if that’s
possible! I truly enjoyed this book, and yes, your favourite characters: Faris,
Chela, Seth, Micah, Jalen, Lexa, and many others are here once again, still
with their inevitable problems to solve, relationship obstacles, and as always,
the overweening umbrella of the Tainted and their desire to foment chaos and to
destroy angel-bloods. Adventurous, romantic, emotionally wringing: “When Silver
Moons Rise” is a don’t miss and I can’t wait for the next in the series!
The author generously provided me with an advance reader’s
