Night and Its Moon

This book was one of the hardest to get through. It was extremely slow and predictable from page one on. Furthermore, it was basically a retelling of The Witcher. The descriptions were unnecessarily long to the point where I felt as if the narrator thought I was dumb. The author probably intended this novel to be a poetic masterpiece of literature. However, the language used felt forced and unnatural - a poor attempt at mimicking the masters of Fantasy. What’s more, is that the book features racist topics. Lastly, the authors’ response to negative reviews/criticism has been and still is questionable. Just because the TikTok videos in question have been removed, does not mean that what has been said, is unsaid. Now, the author published this book in early 2022, but due to criticism, republishes it in September 2022. And even though I haven’t read the book as it was published back then, I can confidently say that the criticism that had been received, was not used to adapt the book. Thus, a lot of potential has gone to waste. Seeing this is sad because I had genuinely thought the author would use this second chance.
