The Knight and the Moth is incredible. Fantastic world-building, twists, turns, and surprises! Love the side plot romance, well-developed and fun. Only downside is the cliffhanger endings - now I must wait until book two is released.

Enjoyable and overall cozy fantasy with some dark moments. This felt like a prequel book since the protagonist is kind of taken for a ride instead of taking action, but a great set up for a book two.

After loving Quicksilver, this was a tolerable sequel. Convenience throughout the plot was my biggest turn off. The characters continue to be fun and I love multi POV, but this didn’t satisfy the same “can’t put it down itch”. Too much happening and ...more
