3.0 out of 5 stars This book needed serious work, June 24, 2007

By	Sage320 (Newport News, VA United States) - See all my reviews

First, let me say that the story itself isn't bad. It's a fantasy written for young people and, as such, is pretty good. I would never give it to a young person to read however. I might read it to them, but not let them see it. This book needed serious editing and the publisher should be ashamed for putting it out in the condition it is. There is hardly a sentence that doesn't have a grammar or spelling error and the wrong word is frequently used. For example, when something like "he walked past the window" should have been said, the word "passed" was used instead. In the middle of many sentences, the line suddenly drops down to the next line for no reason or words are missing. Children have enough problems in school with writing properly. They don't need to see a printed book with so many mistakes. It's too bad. A decent story was ruined by a publisher who couldn't take the time or money to do a good job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moon Struck , March 31, 2007

By	E. D. Oexemann "NorseGrammy" (Superior, WI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an updated review of the novel Moon Struck...
Like the review above the books that I purchased did have errors in it. However the Novel has currently been newly edited and revamped...I still found small very small errors like a quotation mark missing here and there but nothing serious. The novel brought dragons to North America were as another had brought wizards to the UK...give the novel a try..if you like simplicity and a fun read with adventure you won't be disappointed. Enkay is a new and up coming author. She has been working on the second to this series I have been informed- I can't wait!
This is my friends daughters review-( I bought her her copy:) )
I could really relate to what Kyra was going through in trying to find her place in the world as well as for her to be true to who she is. When Aaron came along he brought her into a world where Kyra's fantasies and reality came together offering a friendship not only with himself but the other dragons as well. Aaron in a wheel chair by day and walkig at night gave the novel a different twist. their friendship grows throughout the novel as they overcome obstacles. As the suspense twists and turns its way through the novel..I found myself laughing, being afraid for them, and cheering all at the same time. When Kyra, Aaron and their friends meet up with Grackle the writers captures the essence of the conflict..where I squirmed in m y seat waiting to find out what came next. The ending I have to admit was a surprise so I will not give it away. This novel is a must for any fantasy/adventure fan who is looking for something more than the same old stuff.

My Review:
I couldn't resist reading this novel from begining to end. The author not only captured my curiosity as they wove an eclectic tale about dragons, home school, military, peer pressure, adventure, determination in defeating an old nemisis named Grackle. The books characters are believable and easy to relate too. Such a refreshing offbeat mix a must read for any fantasy fan.
