I devoured this book! Yes, it has almost 700 pages, but I was hooked from the start. This is a great read for those who love romantasy involving angels, elves, witches, and more! If you loved ACOTAR, Throne of Glass, and Quicksilver, this is for you!! The time put into world building without boring me plus all the details into explaining the magic system! I need to get the physical book for my trophy bookcase now!!

Great concept and has a ton of promise! But the flow was lacking for me. I don’t see the point in Blair’s pov or understand why she was even in there maybe in book 2 it will make more sense. I felt like all this information would hit me at one time then it would turn to something else and I would be confused. Super great buildup for a great story and I loved Riven.

War, a prophecy, and a female with the power to stop it all- sign me up! the premise of this book was extremely intriguing and I was so excited to read it. While I did enjoy doing so, there were a few things that did pull me out of the immersive experience.

I am good with a slower story, especially for the first book of a planned series, but the slower story combined with the dialogue that seemed a little unnatural to me in some parts, made it feel a little slower.

I also love to connect deeply with the characters, and a romance storyline usually makes me feel so much more connected to them. I can definitely see the appeal of the type of romance that is developed throughout the story, but it is not usually the type of romance that I lean towards. I didn't feel the deep connection because it didn't seem that the characters did, either. But, that is not to say that those who enjoy love triangles wouldn't enjoy it! I can see how it worked into the author's vision for the characters.

I found the concept of the story interesting. I love how the book remained dark and interesting building the tension of the fantasy world. The slow burn in the romance kept me turning the page, love a dark MMC. The only thing I felt was that it was slightly repetitive in the storyline but overall I enjoyed this book.

dnf @30% , I usually do my best to give books a fair chance and by the 30% mark I honestly just couldn't muster any further interest for this.
I am so sorry! While the book had a captivating premise and lots of potential, it didn’t quite click for me. The slower pacing, some repetitive moments, and the romance dynamics didn’t fully resonate, making it a bit of a challenging read.

This was a strong start to the Fallen Angel series, it had that psychological element that I was looking for and was engaged with what was happening. I enjoyed this as a opening chapter and am excited to read more in this universe. The characters had that overall feel that I was wanting and enjoyed the concept. Alexandra Thomashoff wrote this well and was engaged from the first page.

I received an advanced copy of Kingdom of the Two Moons by Alexandra Thomashoff, in exchange for an honest review. The following review is based on my opinion and experience.

Kingdom of the Two Moons is an incredibly detailed world building fantasy story. It is a story that follows two FMC’s, one is a witch, known as the Scarlet Death, that is ruthless and powerful and the second is a half blood human who has never known freedom. When a Dark Lord captures Melody and takes her to the Court of the Two Moons, she learns there is a prophecy in which will undo the blight that has been bestowed upon the kingdom. It also follows two MMC’s, one that gives a similar feel to Rhysand and the other who gives me the same vibe as the Darkling (a powerful and manipulative figure seeking to harness power).

Although it was sometimes difficult alternating between first and third person POV’s, I really enjoyed the plot of the story, the character development and descriptive world building and settings. This fantasy story included all manner of mythical creatures (witches, shifters, fae, elf, angels, wyvern and necromancies) and many popular fantasy tropes. However, this book has many darker elements, so please check trigger warnings before reading.

I thoroughly enjoyed Kingdom of the Two Moons and really hope that there will be a continuation to the story and this world. Thank you to the author and NetGalley for an ARC of this book.

Thank you kindly, NetGalley, for providing me with this advance review copy.

The cover and synopsis initially intrigued me. However, It just wasn't to my liking. I couldn't connect with the main character and found the writing style to be quite verbose and over-explanatory. I found the amount of information overwhelming, and I ultimately decided to discontinue reading it. Perhaps I will revisit it sometime in the future.

I tried multiple times to get through this book, but unfortunately, it just wasn’t for me. The constant shift between first and third person was especially jarring and acted as a major deal breaker. On top of that, the lack of substantial world-building made it hard to stay immersed. I understand that world-building isn't always the focus in romantasy, but I still would’ve appreciated a more layered and vivid setting.

As for the romance, I usually don’t mind love triangles if they’re well done—but in this case, I couldn’t bring myself to root for Melody with either love interest. Honestly, the romance just made me uncomfortable.

3.75 stars⭐️

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book! I liked this book very much and I can't wait to read the next one

I have just started reading fantasy books, and this was a great story to start with. The characters had my emotions going up and down. I highly recommend reading this. The only downside is that it ends in a cliffhanger, and I am not sure when the next book in this series will come out. Hopefully, it will be very soon. I was given a free book from NetGalley and am leaving an honest review.

First off Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and to the author, for the chance to read this eARC!
This is my first NetGalley read and while it was slow for me to pick up on I was very intrigued by the three povs especially when I would have enjoyed peaking into the fourth mcs head
I may not have blazed through this book as fast as my normal reads but it is a heftier book than I’m use to but the world was built well and there was plenty of angst and darkness for me to add it to my kindle library to come back to again in the future!
I’m excited to see what comes next!

Thank you netgalley and Alex for the arc!

This book had a lot of potential. Like a lot. Fantasy creatures and the urban fantasy realm was really cool. I liked the angels and integration of many fantastical creatures but I think at some point it became a couple too many to keep track of. And again there was a lot of different things that she could have done but all of it didn’t work.

Blair’s pov while interesting I found myself bored with it. This was a multiple pov, but Blair’s was often a dual with Melody’s but also it was often in the past too, which was confusing to follow sometimes.

Melody was a strong character despite what had happened to her but her disregarding Caryan for doing literally the same crap just in different ways irked me. She literally could have learned to fight, ran away and actually stood up for herself or something. I wanted more for her. And certainly not for her to be bonded to someone that wasn’t needed.

Riven was the only character I actually liked and wanted to learn more about. He had emotional depth. We started to see him change through the book to caring and not just indifferent. I really would only read a continuation of this series if he is the main focus but I know he won’t be.

I think this could have been more enjoyable if there wasn’t a lot of weird uncomfortable scenes in this. I get it’s an adult but just because doesn’t mean there needs to be scenes that not even adults should read.

But anyway… I think this will be a

3/5⭐️ for me!

Honestly, I gave this book a 2.5 stars just because I felt at times it got really slow and I just didn’t have this will to continue on with the book. I did end up finishing the book and I thought the ending was interesting but I didn’t connect to the characters very much. Other than Melody, I didn’t find myself caring about any of the other characters especially with the love triangle I didn’t feel like any of the male main characters loved Melody or even liked her. The relationships just felt so superficial.

Most of the time I felt like it was spent with the main character wallowing in self-pity or running away. There wasn’t much else going on in the book. Not to mention this was a pretty long read at around 700 pages at least for me. Even though it was this long read, you weren’t connected to the story at all.

One thing I have to say though is I did like the ending and the start. The book seemed like it was going to have such a good premise. Unfortunately, it just fell a little bit flat. By no means is it the worst book I’ve ever read. It’s just not my personal favorite. Ultimately I felt like this would’ve been a better book, had it been cut down to 400 pages and had more of a concrete plot.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

Wow. What a fun book! I didn’t expect to like it so much but it took me by surprise. And yeah, I think I’m going to want more.

Such a good book, loved the story line, and well written. I will definitely be buying a hard copy of the book!!

Alexandra Thomashoff makes a strong entrance into the fantasy genre with Kingdom of Two Moons, a richly imagined debut that blends emotional depth, dark romance, and intricate world-building. While the dual POV—shifting between first and third person—can feel disorienting at first, it soon becomes a distinctive part of the storytelling. The pacing starts off a bit slow, but it allows the world and characters to fully take shape, rewarding patient readers with a gripping, layered narrative.

The magic system is refreshingly unique and supported by a detailed glossary, making the book feel like an intermediate-level fantasy read that respects its audience’s intelligence. Caryan, the morally grey antihero, wrestles with the tension between achieving peace and sacrificing freedom to get there, while Melody, the only human in a non-human realm, carries the emotional heart of the story. Her resilience and hope are inspiring, and her dynamic with Caryan is packed with tension and longing. The slow-burn romance between them, complicated by a love triangle, adds just the right amount of drama without overshadowing the plot.

Thomashoff’s writing is polished and immersive, far more refined than one might expect from a debut. Kingdom of Two Moons is an enthralling read for fantasy lovers who crave character-driven stories with morally complex leads, a slow-build romance, and a world that feels both fresh and fully formed. It’s a promising start to a series, and Thomashoff is definitely an author to keep an eye on.

The world building was phenomenal and top tier. The suspense, the pining, the yearning, the SPICE. Chefs kiss! The three POV’s took me a second to get used to but omg I loved it! I need the next book yesterday!

This books grabs you right from the start and only picks up speed from there. I love all things fae and supernatural so I was excited to read about this new world. Immediately looking forward to the next book!

AM OBSESSED! This book, man, this book had me in a fucking chokehold. I literally stopped reading this book for a day or two just so I didn't have to leave this universe so soon. This was over 600 pages of pure perfection. I could sing its praises for DAYS!
