The starless crown review5/20/2023 While I loved the plotlines of Nyx, the scholar, and Rhaif, the thief, I struggled with others. Told through several POVs, the story is not as evenly told as I would have liked. I have yet to find an author that can world-build and set up plot in a high fantasy without copious and confusing descriptions. There are lots of crazy names, constantly referencing the provided map to get your bearings, establishing character backstories, so much detail of surroundings, just lots and lots of skippable info-dump. If you are a reader of high fantasy, you know the drill. Review: As the first entry in the Moon Fall Saga, The Starless Crown is heavy on world-building and plot set up. They don’t know it, but fate has them on a collision course to save what they can of their world as ancient prophecies come to fulfillment and their world comes to its end. In the capitol of one of those kingdoms, a prince decides to take fate into his own hands rather than be second to his shining brother. Across the world, a prisoner takes off with a discovery that kingdoms will go to war over. Synopsis: A young woman with a mysterious past sees visions of a horrible future.
