      Much easier to read and follow than [God Stalk] it was less interesting and fairly similar to the other fantasy of its time. I don't like nasty dudes being political as a form of entertainment, and though some of the landscape and characters have the potential to interest there were too much of the former and too many of the latter to get any real feel for them. And a couple times just to show how clever she is Hodgell put words in the mouths of her characters that didn't really suit them.

      This is the second in the Chronicles of Kencyrath, a fantasy series which a fellow bibliophile here on LT has highly recommended.Dark of the Moon continues the story of Jame, her friend Marc and her ounce, a kitten of a variety of large wild cat and with whom she is telepathicically linked. She is searching for her brother Torisen,who although he is her twin, is older than she; the two having spent time in areas where time moves at different speeds. Torisen is trying to establish himself as high king and major battles are looming, not just with the more mortal elements of the land. It seems like anything I may say might contain spoilers so I will just say that I enjoyed this much more than [God Stalk], the first of the series, which I found a bit confusing.It all ends with a bit of a cliffhanger – no, wait there must be more! So I'll definitely go on with the series. But I think I may skip months in between. Or maybe not.

      The second of the Jame books, after God Stalk. A bit more complicated, with the political parts, but still excellent.

      I missed the city from the first book but loved the earth mother in this one. Unfortunately she was only a small part of the story. I like the setup and the culture building but there weren't enough cool original ideas. The writing was decent but sometimes a bit surreal and confusing.

      Jame's saga continues in this sequel to God Stalk, and the action is faster and more furious than ever. Alternating between Jame and her twin brother Torisen, Lord Knorth, the Highlord of the Kencyrath, the story picks up only three days after Jame's flight from Tai-Tastigon. Accompanied by Marcon and her blind ounce Jorin, Jame is still determined to return her father's broken sword and ring-seal to her missing brother who, she suspects, may be the Kencyrath Highlord. Torisen, meanwhile, is faced with a possible political upheaval, and to further complicate matters, the Horde is on the march. Within the Perimal Darkling internal factions are struggling for supremacy, and Jame is being hunted by both sides, neither of which wishes her well.More details of Jame and Torisen's past are revealed, and some nasty, once-human creatures from the Perimal Darkling make their first appearance. Fast paced, and tightly written, this is a probably not the place to begin the series. Even with the prologue providing some background, many of the finer details from God Stalkwould be much missed. It will be interesting to see how Jame deals with the far more cloistered life of a Highborn lady -- I'm thinking the third installment of the series will find her shaking up the fairly hidebound Kencyr -- perhaps with some help from the new Jaran lord, Kirien.

      The second book in this series, I liked it just as well as the first. The writing style is perfect for me; the author was able to catch my attention with the action and adventure. I also attached well on an emotional level. I felt the need and urgency to complete the quest, as though I had invested the time, energy and emotion that Jame did. This book had me from the first chapter. In fact the whole series did. Great original ideas and story telling, classic good vs. evil plotline, the book has it all. One of the few books I have read multiple times.

      In this sequel of "God Stalk," Hodgell follows her main character from that book, Jame, but the tone of the story changes drastically. "Dark of the Moon" is a much more 'epic'-feeling fantasy, as Jame returns to her mission to find her brother, whom she suspects is now High Lord of the Kencyr . So she sets forth with the 'giant' man, Marc, and her mind-bonded blind hunting cat, Jorin, and much questing and adventure ensues...
      Meanwhile, her brother, Torisen, is indeed High Lord, and as such is dealing with much political maneuvering, as Kencyr society is bound by all kinds of strict traditions and rigid ideas about honor... which can get in the way of dealing with issues that come up, such as shape-changing impostors, assassins, power-hungry rivals, not to mention the rumors of a three-million-strong, half-human cannibal horde about to overrrun civilized lands...
      Well-done fantasy but I have to admit that I missed the more intimate tone of the first book, as well as the intriguing setting of the city of Tai-Tastigon.

      the previous reviews are for the wrong book....not Stanford's book "Dark of the Moon".
