I’m so excited to be back in the world of Sorcerous Moons. I was a little concerned I wouldn’t remember what was going on in this book, because it was two years ago I finished the previous book, The Forests of Dru. I even debated about rereading that book first, but then I had Oria’s Enchantment in my inbox and I couldn’t wait to start it.

So, this world exists with magic. There is Bara. They are a society of sorcerers and sorceresses. The men have one type of ability that pairs well with the female’s ability. It makes them extremely powerful. Destrye are strictly human. But the Bara have been pillaging their land, and more importantly, their water. So they come to take on the Bara and save their people and their lands. Oria is Bara and Lonen is Destrye. They come together to try to bring peace to both sides, but things are never that easy. Oh, and there’s a dragon who is a little bit of smart ass at times.

So we are pretty far along in their story by now, five out of six book. So I can’t say a huge amount without giving spoilers to those who haven’t read the earlier books. What I can tell you, is this is a very well developed series. The world that Kennedy has built is pretty amazing. The characters are even better. I just love Oria and Lonen, not to mention Chuffta, Oria’s familiar, the small white dragon you see on the cover.

I will say it was interesting meeting Lonen’s mother and the women she has with her at her retreat (I think that is best word, I can’t remember exactly what it’s called in the book). We also finally get to meet more of the derkesthai, the dragon like creatures like Chuffta.

Speaking of covers, isn’t this cover amazing and it isn’t even the best in the series (not that I don’t like it, I just think that The Forest of Dru has the best cover).

Anyway, if you like fantasy series with romance throughout the series, this is the series for you. It is just as good as her Twelve Kingdoms series. This one just follows the same couple throughout the whole series.

**I like to thank the publisher for providing me with a copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review.
