Why read it?

1 author picked Two Dark Moons as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

While this book is shorter than the others on this list, it packs a lot of worldbuilding and fascinating characters and lore in fewer pages. Inspired by South American geography with towering mesas over dense forest, Two Dark Moons features a detailed astrological system based around the two moons orbiting this world, which determines everything from one’s future vocation to their gender. Sohmeng’s journey brought this world vividly to life and was a delight to get lost in.

From Catherine's list on fantasy to get lost in.
