Description

The shadows of the world are lengthening, and the bond between two souls is tested by the crushing weight of prophecy and desire. Following the atmospheric foundation laid in the first installment, this sequel deepens the stakes, pulling readers further into a dark, lush fantasy landscape where the line between salvation and destruction blurs. The connection between the protagonists is raw and visceral, reflecting a complex bisexual romance that serves as the beating heart of an increasingly perilous journey. While the world-building continues to expand, the narrative shifts its focus toward the internal transformation of characters who have become more than mere figures on a page; they are now hauntingly real, lingering in the mind long after the final chapter concludes. This is a story of resilience, where the light of the sun and the mystery of the shade collide to create something both devastating and beautiful. Those who fell for the initial chemistry will find themselves breathless as the tension escalates, proving that this series is not just about the magic of the setting, but the enduring, complicated power of love in a world designed to tear it apart. Prepare to be completely consumed by this breathtaking continuation.

Awesome

For a self published author who wrote this book in nine days, it was pretty great. For the bad: The book started off slow and had a few moments that I struggled to get through, it had some typos and run on sentences, and a good bit of repetition. I also would have loved to read more of Nox’s story. I feel like Amaris was the main focus and Nox is a side character when she should be more of the main focus and this is her story, but I hope to see more of Nox in future books. But who am I to judge, I’m no writer. For the good: I love that we got to travel to more places in this book, meet new characters, and read the plot thicken. We were introduced to new monsters, morally gray characters, and got the answers to questions and mysteries we were left with in the first book. We also got to know our side characters a little better with more POV’s than just Nox and Amaris. I usually skim through the spicy scenes so no comment there. All in all I love the story, I can live with the typos, and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series and hope to read more from this author in the future as her writing grows.

Book 1 walked so Book 2 could run

Book 2 of The Night and it’s Moon series is better than the first. The author did a lot of work in book 1 building the world and laying little breadcrumbs that really paid off in The Sun and it’s Shade. Piper has a very visual and visceral style of writing that pulls your senses in and throws you directly onto the page itself. Relationships are being built and tested in a way that unravels naturally, organically, and thrilling when things finally happen. Revelations are rocking people’s world that will change 2 kingdoms forever, some of which even as a prolific reader I didn’t see coming. It’s very rare that I don’t see a twist coming in a book and am pleasantly surprised, this one did it a few different times in the best of ways. The parts I picked up the breadcrumbs for along the way were unraveled in such a way that still kept things interesting without giving everything away too soon and spoiling the fun. I screamed, I cried, and I held my breath while reading and couldn’t put it down.

Fantastic!

*REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS* I really enjoyed this story. I love reading books from two POV and this was done so well! The self-discovery journey for not only Amaris and Nox but also Gad had me hooked. I was expecting a bit more spice, but overall I thought the story was great! I am not sure of the direction that the love story is heading but it may be heading towards poly, and that would be awesome to have that represented. However, even if it is not the tension and passion is described beautifully. I didn't like that the same words were used so many times to describe things. It just felt so repetitive. Kinda reminded me of when my kids learned a new word and that's all I hear for a week lol. Still, can't wait for book 3!
