Review

Cindy Taylor--AllbooksReview: ...This is truly an enchanting story written in a magical way with descriptions that flow like a paintbrush bringing a blank canvas to life....there is an air of mystery and the unknown throughout the whole story that kept me turning the pages non-stop...I'm so excited this is the first book of a trilogy, and I'm going to find it very difficult to wait for the second book....This story held me spellbound from cover to cover and I highly recommend it.

From the Author

I began this book for my 'fun' writing while I was working on a more serious work. From the moment I started the story I felt like it was being written through me. I love the story and the characters who appeared on the page and took over my life for the several years I spent on this project.

    It's been some time since I have read a Fantasy Novel. This was a refreshing return to the genre and a bit of relief from some of the more modern day settings I have immersed myself in lately.

    I always enjoy a story that takes place with the characters traveling on a quest and the experiences they have along the way. The Moonstone certainly has its share of that as well as some pretty nasty creatures. There are even some who being more Human in appearance turn out to be something quite different. This is surprising just when you think you have it all figured out. There's very little down time in the events and that will keep you turning the pages with varying degrees of anticipation.

    I really enjoyed this story and read on to the first chapter of the next book in line that you are given at the end. I am not sure how it will connect with this first one but I am eager to see and I will read it to discover what the author has in mind.

    This book strikes straight out of the heart of traditional fantasy, carefully combining many elements from ancient culture and modern fairy-tales. Broadwell's sources are a well-crafted mix of Celtic mythologies, Gaelic rooted language, life observations, and fantasy themes. We are set at first in a recently past Scotland, and follow a path from there into an Otherworld of mysticism, sorcery, and the swirling mists of our childhood dreams and adult mares.
    The journey which the heroines take has an undeniably real feeling start to it. We travel from a present Highlands into landscapes from Scotland's past, lands of vast oak forests, wolves, and hard, rural, centuries old life. This is only a step away from the heather and boggy grasslands, from the modern stands of spruce and pine, from the tarmac torn wilderness; an easy step for fantasy readers. We are with an ordinary girl from a modern, broken family-life, torn away from the familiar mix of love and abuse common to so many backgrounds. This pregnant, already married and separated, heroine is drawn away. The pull provided by an, until the moment, long absent promiscuous "new age" mother. They travel into another world, of hallucinogenic spells, ancient beliefs, Celtic gods, magical herbs, fantastical apparitions, and immemorial struggles. It is an intoxicating idea that somewhere between the familiar and the deep cold ground that awaits all but the most innocent and pious, is another world. Such is the bedrock of fantasy. Broadwell's well-painted fantasy is far better than most, even more rational, (if that isn't a contradiction,) and worth every easy moment it takes to read.
    The Moonstone is a beautifully crafted book, driving a compelling narrative that has many adventurous surprises, highs and lows. No theme in the book is totally original, or even unpredictable, but it is all magically put together, with enough description to enchant without overwhelming our vivid, private imaginations. The path in the moonstone is as compelling as that route to any golden-fleece, or promised chalice. It is a path worth taking, an exciting one.
    The weave of this story has enchanted me into needing more, to see further into the flawed mystical world created by Broadwell's deep well of imagination. I will consume the rest of the trilogy without the slightest effort. The plot is often predictable, as is most adventure, but it's play of character, its mix of ideas and psychology isn't. Enjoy all, the craft in Broadwell's writing, the mix of myth and mythology, of ancient art and modern thought, the frustrating predictability of flawed character, and the sometimes unforeseen, all the elements that make this a great story.

    Might have known this is another amazing book by Nikki. Entertaining,intriguing,gut-wrenching,and tearful. She puts it all into what the characters are. It's very soul searching when you try to make sense of what these people are living and everything in Celtic lore. I can't wait to to start the next installment.
    This is another you Don't want to miss tale. LOVED every minute.

    What I liked: beautiful world the author has created, and I like the way Celtic mythology is woven into the Otherworld. I liked the characters, and found I could easily see them as real people.

    What I wanted more of: I read the author's blog, and she occasionally makes reference to having cut descriptive passages. I kept wondering what they were, and wanting to see them. I wondered if she had cut descriptions of the landscapes the characters are walking through on their long journey. Finna is said to be an artist, and I'd have loved to have seen the world more through her eyes.
    The heroine, Finna, is pregnant, estranged from her baby's father, and walking on a long trek with her mother, whom she has just met. Broadwell works well with these difficulties, but I sometimes wanted more. It wasn't that she didn't deal with them, but they were interesting enough to warrant more development. I sometimes wondered if the book had been over-edited a bit.
    Finna needs a lot of help from other characters, for obvious reasons as well as some reasons which arise through the plot. But, I kept wanting her to find in herself the ability and fierceness to fight for herself and her baby. It wouldn't necessarily have to be violent fighting, but some kind of rising to the occasion and the challenge of this incredible journey. But, she didn't, and wasn't really called to. It kind of felt to me like a prologue, an introduction to a story of which Finna wasn't really the heroine.

    And then the first chapter of the second book in the series is included at the end. I found it to be more vibrant and compelling than Finna's story, so I look forward to reading Saille, the Willow.

    Overall, nice work, worth reading in spite of my criticisms, and a solid beginning to a wonderful story.

    2.0 out of 5 stars not enough research done
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 24, 2020
    A good story spoilt by inaccuracies such as saying the Celtic Wheel of the Year is a lunar one. The four quarters and four cross quarters are the two equinoxes and the two solstices - all solar positions, with Beltaine, Lughnasadh, Samhain, and Imbolc in between. So its a solar calendar. The druidic or Ogham tree calendar of 13 months - something very different - is a lunar calendar but that is not what was being alluded to. There are so many mistakes like this in the book that I couldn't finish it. That is such a shame as the story was interesting. Research is essential when you are a writer and there are some good books around to help - Glennie Kindred has some excellent guides to pagan celebrations.
