The Watchers of Moniah Goodreads Review
“This one is... unique! First book I ever read with the hero bonded to a giraffe! More seriously, it is a coming of age story set in a very egalitarian fantasy setting (the monarch is a queen and she is no puppet on strings). At the age of 15, Adana must watch her mother die of disease, accept that the arch-enemy of her people, who was condemned to death before her birth, managed to survive the dreadful manner of execution his crimes deserved, deepen her bond with her giraffe, which is, something most important for her as a future queen and... she is sent in exile right away, away from her enemy, away from her father, away from her friends.”
The Watchers at War Amazon Review
“This entire series was an intricately woven epic story full of strong female characters, in-depth world building and richness of detail. The suspense built throughout and was masterfully brought to closure in book 3.”
