I absolutely loved this MM romance.

Such a great book with a solid storyline and great characters.

I eagerly look forward to reading more from this author.

A definite recommend!

We Cry the Sea by Glenn Quigley
The Moth and Moon #3

1780 in a place and time that is on an alternate plane. There are islands and boats, and some similarities with clockwork devices, accepted marriages between non-binary couples and a whole lot more. It was a fictional, fantasy, fairytale feeling world filled with intriguing characters. Again, tis was a story of family, friends, community and more. Romance was abundant and communication healthy and wise. I am not sure this is the end of the series, but I wouldn’t mind returning to Merryapple in the future if the author were to decide to take us there. I would recommend reading this series in order although having not read book one I still thoroughly enjoyed book so much that I was eager to read book three.

What I liked
* Robin: a gentle giant, somewhat damaged by his childhood, eager to find his father, in love with Edwin, important to the community though on a quest of his own most of this book.
* Edwin: a nice guy and Robin’s partner
* Duncan Hunger: Intriguing man, clockwork genius and carpenter, a bit of a romantic and an intriguing fellow
* Iris & Eva: a good partnership and soon to be parents
* George: owner of The Moth and Moon, historian, collector, storyteller
* Vince: half-brother of Robin, a bit of an enigma, might be interesting in a story of his own, more to him than what we have seen so far – I like the direction he is heading at the end of the story
* Being reminded that we all have preferences in the type we might be drawn to. I had not thought much about it but some of the thoughts of various characters in this story had me thinking about this.
* finding out what happened to Daisy…
* Going to the Pirate’s lair
* The fun fantasy fairytale feel of the story
* That couples were so open with their feelings and open sharing of them among others
* The way it made me feel…

What I didn’t like:
* What Robin found out about his father…
* The people I was meant not to like

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Yes
