Moonfall Series

<h3>Series Order</h3><p><strong>1. When the Moon Hatched</strong><br> <strong>2. The Ballad of Falling Dragons</strong></p><h3>About the Book</h3><p>This is probably the series on this list that made me go, <em>Okay, I need to know what this world is about.</em></p><p><em>When the Moon Hatched</em> introduces a world where dragons do something rather extraordinary after death: they rise into the sky and become moons.</p><p>The story follows Raeve, an assassin working for a rebellion, whose life changes dramatically after she is captured by a powerful fae group. Meanwhile, Kaan Vaegor, a grieving fae king searching for answers about his past, is drawn towards the same mystery.</p><p>The second book, <em>The Ballad of Falling Dragons</em>, continues the Moonfall story with Raeve and Kaan as the larger mysteries of their world continue to unfold.</p><h3>What the Story Feels Like</h3><p>This feels like <strong>big fantasy energy</strong>.</p><p>Dragons that become moons. Fae. Assassins. Rebellion. Ancient secrets. A grieving king. A mysterious past. Magic. Romance.</p><p>And then there is that slightly haunting idea at the centre of the mythology — dragons becoming celestial bodies after death, only for those moons to eventually fall.</p><p>It is the sort of premise that makes me want to understand the mythology before I even know the entire story.</p><h3>Why You Should Read It</h3><p>I'm a complete sucker for fantasy worlds that have their own mythology rather than simply placing magical creatures into a familiar medieval setting.</p><p>The dragon mythology was the first thing that caught my attention.</p><p>Then came the assassin heroine, the fae politics and the romance. And once I realised that the story involved a much larger mystery connecting Raeve and Kaan, this moved very quickly from <em>maybe someday</em> to <strong>definitely on my shelf</strong>.</p><p>If you enjoy romantasy but also want a world with its own mythology, creatures, politics and mysteries beyond the central romance, this is the one that particularly caught my eye.</p><h3>What Makes It Memorable</h3><p>The premise alone is incredibly distinctive.</p><p>Instead of dragons simply being creatures that live alongside humans, they are woven into the mythology of the world itself. The idea of dragons becoming moons gives the series a particularly atmospheric quality, while the fae, rebellion and romance add another layer of fantasy adventure.</p><p>For me, it is that combination of <strong>world-building + mythology + romance</strong> that makes this series so intriguing before I've even started reading it.</p><h3>Reading Experience</h3><p>I am expecting this one to be immersive.</p><p>Possibly the kind of book where I need to give myself enough uninterrupted reading time because there seems to be a lot happening beneath the romance — mythology, political conflict, rebellion, secrets and a larger fantasy world that needs to unfold gradually.</p><p>I'm also expecting emotional chaos.</p><p>Because apparently fantasy authors looked at dragons, assassins and fae and decided that wasn't enough — they also needed to add heartbreak.</p><h3>Perfect For Readers Who</h3><ul> <li>Love romantasy and epic fantasy romance</li> <li>Want dragons and fae in the same world</li> <li>Enjoy morally complicated fantasy worlds</li> <li>Love assassins and rebellion plots</li> <li>Enjoy mysterious magic systems and mythology</li> <li>Like immersive fantasy world-building</li> <li>Don't mind starting an ongoing series</li> <li>Want a fantasy romance with a larger world beyond the central love story</li> </ul>
