The Moth Saga: Books 1 - 3 Kindle Edition

"They say the world used to turn. They say that night would follow day in an endless dance. They say that dawn rose, dusk fell, and we worshiped both sun and stars. That was a long time ago . . ."

The Moth Saga, a bestselling fantasy series, tells the story of Moth, a world torn in two--its one half always in sunlight, the other cloaked in endless night. This bundle includes the first three novels in the series: Moth, Empires of Moth, and Secrets of Moth.

Many eras ago, the world of Moth fell still, leaving one side in perpetual daylight, the other in darkness. Torin and Bailey have spent their lives in the light, but now they're about to venture into the dark . . . and discover a world of danger, secrets, and wonder.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lucky Charms
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2015
Verified Purchase
I love Lucky Charms. It’s a great cereal. When I was younger, I used to eat around the marshmallows so that I could eat them all at the end. It was a reward for finishing the more boring parts first. It made eating it fun. And then I grew up and between the stress of a job in a highly technical field, a mortgage, student and car loans, yard work, house work, etc, etc, that delayed satisfaction has lost its appeal.

So I now have this endearing (my fiancé claims annoying) little habit of eating the marshmallows straight out of the box when I’m stressed out. It took him a while to realize what was happening because he hadn’t eaten the cereal since he was a kid and he figured that they were putting fewer marshmallows in it, in an attempt to make it healthier. Then one day he was the first one to open the box and things started to add up.

His big “Ah-ha!” moment came when he found me half-drunk after an especially stressful week at work, sitting in the dark on our pantry floor with my hand stuck in the box. The crumbs on my shirt told him all he needed to know.

What I'm trying to say is that most books I pick up are like boxes of Lucky Charms. I never know if some a-hole has gone through them first and removed all the good parts. Fantasy seems to be the exception to this rule for me. I consistently enjoy it more than any other genre, and for that reason I keep coming back to it.

This series is a perfect example of why. It has a unique and incredibly built world, fantastic characterization, gorgeous writing, underdog MCs, ruthless villains, some potential game changers lingering on the sidelines, power struggles, impossible odds, epic battles, the list goes on and on.

Reading this book was like opening a box of Lucky Charms to find that someone had replaced all the crap I didn’t want with MORE MARSHMALLOWS. And I don't mean that this series was sugary sweet. It wasn't. It was intricate and dark, detailed and daring. What I'm trying to say is that this series was frigging awesome.

If you’re a fantasy fangirl or boy you should totally pick it up. If you’re not, you should still totally pick it up because it’s a wonderful example of the magic that this genre has to offer. I cannot wait to see where Arenson takes this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars An imaginative fantasy with a unique premise
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2014

The Moth Saga is a series about a world (Moth) that stopped spinning, with one side permanently in the sun and one in the darkness. Upon the sun-lit side resides Timandrans, and on the moon-lit side resides Elorians.

In the first book, the kingdoms on Timandra are facing internal strife and rebellion. In an effort to deflect attention away from theirselves, the leaders decide to start a war with the moon-lit side of Elorian. The characters we follow from either side attempt to stop the war and heal the world.

In the second book, things are getting worse. Eloria is losing and being slaughtered in genocide. Koyee, Torin, and the others must set out on quests to unite all of Eloria to fight against their common enemy.

In the third book, Koyee learns of a way to make the world spin again. Everyone sets on a quest to accomplish this in hopes of turning the war back against the daylight. The third book throws any scientific plausibility out the door, but its a fantasy anyway and fun to read.

The world is really, really imaginative and its a premise I haven't read before. Rather plausible or not, it was interesting to learn about the two sides and how they had evolved over thousands of years. I found the development and growth of Torin and Koyee to be very well done. Both Koyee and Torin were somewhat weak and immature in the beginning, but grew quite well and were always heroic and noble. The villain in the story actually has a well-done backstory and it was fun to see him constantly riding off the rails and over-topping himself. Some of the supporting characters were a bit stunted and never showed as much growth as I would have liked (Bailey, Linee). In fact, I wasn't quite sure of their purpose other than a little comedic relief. A few of the deaths in the series just didn't impact me as much as they might have because I just didn't relate to or know the characters well enough.

I found the plot to be well-paced and a good page-turner. The book was fairly quick for me, and I felt the writing style was easy to get through. There was a bit of filler (especially in the beginning dealing with Koyee) but as the series progressed this mostly went away.

So overall, a great series to read and a fun one. I look forward to reading future books about Moth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Epic yeah! I am definitely going to come back to this series, again, and again, and again.
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2015

So to start I would have to say these books are by far some of the most interesting and engaging series I have ever read.

The books take off with a little information on how the world stopped spinning at one point in time, thousands of years before the story between both halts of the world takes place. One side is dark and lit by the moon, the other is always sunlit. Both sides of the world have had to go through changes in able for people and wildlife to survive.

Now I will admit, the fact that the world stopped spinning had me wondering why there were people alive to begin with, but then the whole notion of the illogical, but fascinating world that was created blew me away. I have never read anything quite like this series. I read all six books in a little under four days and I have been now working on the Dawn of Dragons trilogy... both are fascinating and I suggest them both to any who would like to try out a new author with a very unique take on fantasy writing, or to those who have read Daniel Arenson's books before.

Note: Even though some facts and logic have been disregarded and sidestepped, many things related to the real world emerge that
you wouldn't normally think about and that end up catching you off guard and causing you to think a big "Ooohhhh yeeeaahh!" and then read about the effects of said oh yeah. For example; The Timandrians who are the people on the bright side of the world end up developing a vitamin D deficiency after fighting and conquering the Elorians in the darker half of the world for a couple years and then end up needing to be sipped out and replaced with new troops from Timandra. You also know what this is but the people within the story have no idea. It just makes it more interesting.

I actually wanted to try the dragon book series from Daniel Arenson and stumbled upon this one when buying a set of 9 books of various authors. So I thought to give it a go and wow, this saga is just great. I could not stop reading. The overall idea is really good. I never got tired to read any story out of all the main characters. The ending might have been a bit quick and too easy but the writing just made up to it. Really well done.
Was looking forward to read the next 3 books but after I found out it is not about the main characters anymore, I am a bit reluctant. But I guess I will give it a try.

I thought the characters were very good and made me really believe in them (the good and bad ones). Could understand their reasons for doing what they did. Also liked the outcome, and look forward to reading further Moth books.
