Liar's Moon by Elizabeth C. Bunce
I can say I love the moon and the title drew me to read Liar’s
Moon by Elizabeth C. Bunce. It was written in
November 2011 and it is sequel
to “Star Crossed.” It is considered to be in the fantasy genre and but it can
also be considered a mystery in that the main character becomes a detective and
spy in order to solve a mystery murder case for a friend in prison.
In Liar’s Moon, the main character Celyn Contrare is the
heroine of this fantasy story involving romance, magic, and mystery where she
finds Durrel Decath in the same prison chamber as her. She is bailed out, by an
unknown person, but promises to return and help Durrel, and old friend who
helped her from drowning in the past.
This whole book revolves on finding out who murdered the
wife of Durrel Decath. All evidence proves it is him, he married her by a huge
year span where she could be his mother, the poison in his room, which was the
same type of poison found in her body. However, Celyn does not believe that he
was the murderer only because of the feeling in her guts. She has the power to
see magic and when she goes about her search in the castle they lived in, she
finds star dust on the walls of the room where the murder happened.
She goes about interviewing the daughter and son-Koya and Barris- of Durrel’s
newly wed wife, Lady Decath, and she brings a good point by saying that “I had no experience
investigating crimes; committing them yes, but never reconstructing them, piece
by piece, backward in time” (Bunce 37). In this light, Celyn goes about searching for the truth behind the liar's moon, a place full of lies and mystery.
I feel this book is appropriate for the young adult audience
but I feel it would attract female readers more because of the romance story
behind it. Also, it reminds me of twilight and if you liked twilight I would
recommend you read this piece. I am not a fan of twilight but I found this book
enjoyable. It is long, it is 309 pages, but the read is fast and you get wrapped
up with who the murderer was and trying to solve the case with Celyn. I was
left with wonder though, if they will make a movie out of these sequels too?
