Eclipse the Moon by Jessie Mihalik

Released July 12th, 2022

Eclipse the Moon is the second book in Starlight’s Shadow trilogy. This one follows Kee, a young bubbly woman who lived through a galactic war and came out still able (if not determined) to see the good in people. Eclipse the Moon picks up right where the first one left off, but instead of working with her team for the majority of the book like Tavi did in Hunt the Stars, Kee leaves the group to find out more about how to stop another war from happening.

I liked the fast-paced action, interspersed with the moments of caring that Kee and Varrow (her love interest) have. Mihalik is great at writing compelling characters with interesting conflicts. One of the only things that I didn’t care for was the back and forth, on and off, parts of the relationship between Kee and Varro. Mostly because it could have all been solved with a conversation, which, to Mihalik’s credit, Kee does force Varro to have. This is a common aspect of relationship portrayals though.

Overall, I still greatly enjoyed the book.
