I 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! Ok ok. I'm going to try to articulate the immense emotions I had into words...

This book is told in multiple POVs. We get Melody's POV, which is told in first person. We also get Blair and Riven's POV, which are told in third person. The writing in this book was so unique and so incredibly detailed. It was also interesting to get it from both first and third person POV. I felt it really added another layer to this book...but anyways, we're introduced to Melody (a half human half fae) who has special gifts. Blair and Caryan are on the hunt for Melody because her special gifts can help them find relics that have been hidden for years. According to an oracle, Melody is part of a prophecy that is going to change things in a coming war. Caryan is an angel who is immortal and has blood bonds with his kingdom which include one of the high lords Riven. Blair is a witch who has been searching for Melody for her coven. Caryan and Riven find Melody first and take her from the human world to the fae world where Melody is slowly learning about who she is and her past while also trying to stay safe from everyone who is coming for her.

Honestly, this book is so complex that there is no way I can come up with a good enough synopsis.

Melody is one bad ass bitch. I love her. I'm actually obsessed with her. She has a connection with Riven and Caryan. You can feel the intense connection through the pages. The slow burn was slow burning! I don't even know who I want her to end up with more. Riven and Caryan are so different in the best of ways. Blair is also a pretty bad ass bitch with a hidden soft center. She just wants to be loved and live her life. Each character, including all the side characters are amazing. Evil or good, each character was written so beautifully.

The world building was so elegantly detailed that I felt as if I was in this world. It was a bit poetic at times but that just added to it. We learn about the fae world and its customs with Melody, so we're gradually getting introduced instead of bombarded and trying to understand. We also get to feel Melody's fascination, confusion, and irritation as we learn what she learns about herself, her past, her environment, etc.

Throughout we also get chapters of Blair's past so we can gain a little backstory on the war and how animosity began. That ending left me reeling! I NEED the next book. Not want, I NEED it. I swear I can go on and on and on and on about the perfection that is this book but I don't want to give too much away.

All I can say is if fantasy, romance, or fae are your things pick this book up yesterday! Read it!

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!

Unfortunately, this book was not for me personally and as a mood reader, I had to DNF. The author was very creative with her writing and it was fast paced. I loved the prophecy and the artwork on the pages, but I wish it had been set in more of a fantasy world rather than several types of fantasy creatures living in the real world with humans. It just wasn't my personal cup of tea, and that's okay. The book was also too long for my taste personally. But with all that being said, I'll base my rating on the parts I did read. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Thank you Net Galley for the privilege to read an arc for this book. The following opinion is mine and mine alone. This book is incredibly written with a fascinating magic system and world. I honestly adored the book overall, although it was jarring to switch from third person to first person throughout the story, some people may not enjoy that aspect but I thought it well planned out. Melody and Blair are such drastically different characters and they both tell similar but incredibly different stories. I loved Riven and Caryan, they had so many layers and depths to explain who and why they are the way they are. It was all incredibly complex and interwoven so beautifully. Honestly this book is incredible and I highly recommend.
If you liked When The Moon Hatched, Throne of Glass, or Quicksilver you may enjoy this book.

Wow this book did a number on me. Kingdom of Two Moons by A. Thomasoff, published by Last Unicorn Press is a fantasy, pnr, raw and gritty. Btw. some content warning would've been nice. There are lots of.
Melody is the last silver elf, hold and kept by dark forces.
And there's Caryan, a fallen dark angel and River, his second in command, who are the only one who can save her. Together with a story and characters that had me confused half of the time, I wanted to stop reading more than one time, but I just couldn't.
The story ends in a cliffhanger, consider you informed. 3,5 stars.

I was so excited to read this book after reading the description but was a little let down. The main character melody doesn’t know what she wants and goes back and forth constantly and every other scene seems to be crying. And while that can be understandable and a part of character growth the story is just slow to progress and seems very disjointed. I am also not a fan of “little girl” especially in romance tropes. There are a lot of similarities and to ACOTAR. This book has a ton of potential but just missed the mark.

I did end up overall really liking this book. I think at times the shift in time period and the shift in perspectives was a bit jarring and disjointed. Not sure how I feel about Caryon as a character yet, I think there is just so much we don’t quite know about him yet because none of it is from his perspective. I’m used to the tortured shadow daddy trope but I do feel like at times it might be a little too far for me but we listen and we don’t judge right? The ending cliff hanger is really good though and I definitely will want to read the next one and see how this world and story develops more.

Thank you so much to the author for a chance to read and eARC of this book!

Kingdom of the Two Moons is an engaging fantasy novel that masterfully blends magic, complex characters, and a hint of romance.

The male leads, Caryan and Riven, were fascinating and morally ambiguous, making it hard to pick a favorite. Caryan’s dark fallen angel persona was especially captivating, while Riven’s loyalty and complexity added depth to the narrative. Their intense dynamics kept me invested throughout the story.

A minor downside was the use of certain pet names during romantic moments, which felt out of place and slightly disrupted the mood, and i am not a big fan of triangle situation, so i don't know if i am gonna read the next book.

Overall, if you enjoy enemies-to-enemies tension, witty banter, love triangle, this book is worth the read. Despite some predictable elements, Kingdom of the Two Moons is an entertaining fantasy adventure.

🤍AD/ gifted!! Thank you so much to Netgalley for allowing me to read and review this E-arc of kingdom of the two moons 🤍

Kingdom of the two moons by Alexandra Thomashoff is an amazing enemies to lovers fantasy romance, with world building and some interesting characters and a specific magic system. There are many types of characters within the plot such as angels, witches, demons, oracles and much more.

This book gave off major ACOTAR, TOG and fourth wing vibes. I feel like there was a lot of world building and sometimes the plot was a little all over the place and sometimes I was a bit lost and unable to fully commit myself to the book hence why I couldn’t rate it a 5 star. I did however have a really good time reading and towards the end I felt connected with the characters and I was wondering what was going to happen in the next book.

I loved the main MMC’s but to say it was a enemies to lovers i feel as if it was very slow, and towards the end i was confused as to who the love interest was deemed to be as it seems to be a love triangle. Caryan is a fallen angel and riven is his second in command and closest friend. I did enjoy the FMC’s Blair and Melody but sometimes Melody frustrated me with how she acted in the plot.

I would definitely recommend this book to any fantasy lover!

✨thank you to NetGalley for the e-ARC!✨

Okay, so first things first: this book jumps between first and third POV, which honestly had me a little what the heck at first. Took a minute to get used to that. The beginning was a little slow, but I get it—necessary to get to the good stuff. And let me tell you, the world-building? Top notch. I’m seriously hoping we get to see more of it in future books.

Now, let’s talk characters. Caryan is that perfectly messy antihero who wants peace but is ready to throw personal freedom out the window to get it. Complex? Oh, yeah. Then there's Melody—the only human in this whole world. She’s like a walking beacon of hope, and her emotional journey? Hits deep. The romance? Dark, steamy, and full of tension. The slow-burn between Melody and Caryan had me hooked. And don’t even get me started on the love triangle—it added a whole new level of drama, passion, and just perfect chaos.

*thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ – Dark, Addictive, and Utterly Enchanting

Kingdom of the Two Moons pulled me in and refused to let go. This is the kind of romantasy that drips with tension—magic, danger, and a heroine shackled by fate but burning for freedom. Melody’s journey from captive to something far more powerful was so gripping, and the whole “torn between two dangerous, beautiful beings” trope? Chef’s kiss.

Riven is the broody fae warrior we love to suffer over, but Caryan? That fallen angel exudes lethal allure, and every scene with him felt like standing too close to the edge of a cliff. The stakes are sky-high, the prophecy twist is deliciously dark, and the worldbuilding is lush, eerie, and immersive.

Why not 5 stars? The pacing dipped a little in the middle, and there were moments I wanted even deeper emotional beats. But overall? If you love forbidden magic, dark fae courts, and an enemies-to-lovers romance that burns—this one needs to be on your shelf. Prepare to be obsessed. 🔥🌙

3.7 stars. The world building is there. The relationship building just wasn’t it for me. Definitely give ACOTAR and Fourth Wing vibes which I love!

I NEED everyone to read Kingdom of the Two Moons ASAP and come talk to me, because I’m still not okay with it!! And let’s take a moment to appreciate Caryan—the darker, edgier version of Rhysand I never knew I needed. Morally DARK gray? Check. Mysterious and POWERFUL? Check. My new book husband? 1000% yes. I hate to say it, but he add him to my list with Rhysand, Xaden, Anathema, and Kingfisher… and I don’t say that lightly.

What makes this book stand out is how fresh it feels compared to so many other romantasies. Sure, we’ve got a powerful and enigmatic MMC, a traumatized but strong FMC, and sizzling tension—but the world-building is next level/top notch. It’s got The Cruel Prince vibes, a magic system reminiscent of Throne of Glass, and a love triangle that actually HURTS (in the best way though… and I’m not a love triangle girly). Melody, our only human in a fae world, goes through such a raw and realistic transformation. Blair is female rage personified (obsessed), and Riven? Dark, deadly, and devastatingly attractive. The multiple POVs worked so well, making it impossible to put down.

And don’t even get me started on the romance. The tension? The slow burn? The forbidden longing? THE scene? It’s steamy without being overly explicit, and somehow, that made it even hotter. I’m already dying for more! —Thank you, NetGalley, for the eARC!

Thank you NetGalley for sending me this e-arc. It was such a pleasure reading it. Humans,angels, elves, witches,nefarians,sirens,dryads,fauns & oracles what more could you want in an epic romantasy!
Lots of magic, dragons,demons & more. Really great character building -their personalities really coming through, world building is written in such detail that I could clearly visualise it in my mind, great pacing not too slow, I couldn’t put the book down. I’m really looking forward to the release in march :)

✨Thank you, Netgalley, for the chance to read an e-ARC of this book.✨

Kingdom of the Two Moons is an epic fantasy, with decent world-building, some amazing characters, a pretty cool magic system, and an array of mythical creatures (angels, elves, witches, demons, oracles, fauns, and much more).

This book gave off serious ACOTAR, Throne of Glass, and Fourth Wing vibes, and as much as I enjoyed the vibes, it is also the main reason why I didn't rate the book 5⭐️. I just felt like I had read it all before; I could pretty much guess where the story was headed.
!!BUT!!

I still had a great time nonetheless and will 100% be reading the sequel.

I loved both MMCs, Caryan and Riven. Caryan is a dark fallen angel and Riven his second in command. Caryan is a much darker version of Rhysand! And I'm here for it!
The FMCs I also enjoyed, especially witchy Blair. Blair is my spirit animal! The clapbacks that came out of her mouth... priceless! I also kind of liked Melody, but in certain scenes she seriously annoyed me.

I need to mention Ronin! I absolutely loved Ronin. A witcher with a beautiful soul. He's giving Lucien (ACOTAR) energy.

There's also a bit of a love triangle situation going on between Caryan, Riven, and Melody, and it was intense.🥵
Do I recommend it? Absolutely ✨

I ended up really enjoying this book! The beginning was a little slow, but I feel like it was needed to get where we ended. I love books with different POV’s and I hope we get some from Caryan in the next book! I thought the world was created really well, I really hope we get to learn more. I enjoyed learning about Blair through the flashback chapters it made me understand her so much more. I hope we get some for Caryan and Riven in the next book. I definitely will be trying to read the second book whenever it comes out.

ingdom of the Two Moons is a captivating romantasy that swept me into a world of magic, intrigue, and complex characters. The story follows Melody, a young woman whose life has been a series of imprisonments due to her unique abilities. Her journey from captivity to the enigmatic Court of the Two Moons, ruled by the fallen angel Caryan, is both thrilling and emotionally resonant. The intricate world-building and morally gray characters kept me hooked from start to finish. I especially appreciated the depth of Melody’s character and the tension between her and Riven, Caryan’s loyal lieutenant. The novel masterfully balances action, romance, and suspense, making it a must-read for fans of epic fantasy and star-crossed lovers. While the plot is richly detailed, some readers might find certain aspects complex, but this complexity adds to the immersive experience. Overall, it’s a stunning debut that leaves me eagerly anticipating the next installment.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 🧚‍♀️ Fae Romance | ⚔️ Epic Battles | 💔 Star-Crossed Lovers

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC copy!

Ok that ending was a wild ride. Overall, I really liked it - I will say there were TONs of similarities of other well-known characters like Rhysand, Manon, Tairn, and Theon but they obviously were unique in their own way. I loved both the MMCs and I honestly could not decide which direction I was leaning towards. Both are not nice but they are nice if that makes sense?? And my twisted mind kinda liked it??

Both the FMCs were INTERESTING and I am sooo curious to know why fate brought them together. I will say it was tough to get into it because the world building kinda confused me and the writing was so fast paced. I also wasn't a huge fan of "boy" "my little girl" or "child" when there was some SPICE TENSION so that's why I gave it a 4 in my honest opinion.

- enemies to enemies?
- touch her and well you know
- banter and spice
- love triangle??
- multiple POV

Kingdom of the Two Moons by Alexandra Thomashoff is a spellbinding fantasy adventure filled with rich world-building and complex characters. I really enjoyed this story.
