3.0 out of 5 stars A rehash with some fresh ideas
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2016

I've been a fan of this series for a while now, I've blasted through the first trilogy, now I've dived into the second phase of this series. So far, I'm halfway through Daughters of Moth and so far... the plot is somewhat similar to the first novel. We still got ignorant A holes trying to stir up trouble and invade the night... again. The only fresh new quality to this novel is the exploration of how magic works in this universe. I hardly ever read fantasy that often, so I don't know how original the magic system is here, but I like it a lot. Being a primary science fiction reader, I enjoyed how the author gave a concrete explanation to how it works. And most importantly, he sticks to the system and doesn't just go out of the blue with new and rare magic abilities that newbie mages would know how to use.

I enjoy the new main protagonist and like how she's her own character and not a rehash of what we saw before. My only gripe is that I wish that she got a break from being harassed all the time. It's like she goes to school in the Jim Crow South or something, with all the students hackling her every step of the way. I understand that the author has to illustrate the challenges she has to go through, but the physical abuse was becoming a bit redundant after a while.

As for the other new characters, I hope there is more depth to them later. As of now, they are one-dimensional. One charatcer keeps going on and on about having magical items this and that that it becomes the only thing she talks about. She talks about nothing else. Tam is just an ill-fated bodyguard and the Elorian boy is just mysterious and nothing more. But since this is just the start of the new trilogy, I'll give them a chance for now.

1.0 out of 5 stars Same ole stuff
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2015

The first three books were good though some of the characters were quite irritating, Bailey for instance, very aggressive personality, not very nice and not very bright. This fourth book seems to be a continuation of the same struggles with children from the first three books characters taking center stage. Madori taking over where Bailey left off being very aggressive and not overly intelligent. I hate when women are protrayed as being so stupid! Bailey, Madori, the queen whoever, the assassin all total idiots! Same theme from first books. Enough already. 87% into kindle book and I just can't finish this one and will not be buying the last two.

5.0 out of 5 stars I really would like to know what happened It is not clear
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2015

I'm reading the all saga of Moth.
The only thing I'm not understanding is: In the book Three, They fixed the Clock and their World started turning again, but in this book, it's stopped.
I really would like to know what happened
It is not clear. They finished the war because the world started turning, And then both side would have Night and Day, but in this book, 16 years letter, it is again one side Always Day and the other Always Night, just during the war.
Can any one explain that to me?
I'm now reading the book Five (Shadows) and it is still intense, so keep reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars DAUGHTER OF THE MOTH
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2014

I very much enjoy all of this author's books. He cannot write fast enough for me! I initially was a little confused when I started the series as I believe I somehow equated this book with the Dragon Series. When I realized this was not Dragons I truly found myself lost in the characters. This newest book grabbed me and I could picture each character and felt as if I were with them. To me, being able to feel what the character feels and to feel the story unfold is a wonderful way to enjoy a book. Bravo. great story, moved quickly, and did not disappoint. MORE!

2.0 out of 5 stars Amnesia? Unexplained plot regression.
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2017
Verified Purchase
The initial book was free. I enjoyed it very well, the second and third books were also very enjoyable. This book, however, put me off to the point I could not finish it. The issue the first 3 books were about was resolved at the end of the third book. With this book, somehow with no explanation, the issue that was fixed is now, again broken, a large part of the narrative.

4.0 out of 5 stars Looking forward to Book 5
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2014

I have loved the Moth series to date. It's a new world and yet has familiar conflict. I have to be honest and say I did not enjoy this story as much because it seemed to repeat the victimization of book 1. Where the first reminded me in some way of the quest type story found in Lord of the Rings, this one seemed more like Harry Potter stories. Then I thought that it could be that what seemed repetitive was really to show that a generation later the same hatred existed and how short peace can be. It is still a good book and I look forward to the 5th book.

I have enjoyed the first three in the series (even though everyones eyes sting all the time), but at the startof this book the world is not spinning again with no explanation why. Poor job on continuity.

3.0 out of 5 stars she must deal with discrimination and hate from the "pure blooded" Timandarians
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2015

In The Daughter of Moth, Madori (daughter of Torin and Koyee) goes to an academy to learn healing magic. While there, she must deal with discrimination and hate from the "pure blooded" Timandarians. Meanwhile, a new movement who call themselves Radians slowly take over the light side of Moth and start chanting for a war against the night again.

Overall, the writing was fine here and the characters well developed, but the ideas were not very original. Its just a retread of what came before. The same rheoretic against Elorians, etc. A little bit of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix thrown in. Down with the nightcrawlers, blah, blah, blah. There were so many possibilities in this world, but it just repeated the first books instead.

If Madori becomes a great mage in future books, perhaps it could pay off. But as a standalone novel, this one is very depressing, with no fresh ideas.

Just finished reading this book. It's the best story I've read for a long time. I have purchased the whole 6 book series and am thoroughly enjoying it.
I came across Daniel by chance recently, but what a brilliant author he is. I absolutely devoured his 5 Requiem trilogies ( all 15 of them) and have the Alien Hunter trilogy waiting in the wings. I can't wait!!!
Keep up the good work, Daniel.

Laying aside the scientific impossibilty of a non rotating planet being habitable, the story meets head-on all the problems caused by racial prejuduce. In a strange world, the trails and tribulations of the various characters are vividly portrayed and 'good' prevails!

Good book if you have not read the previous 3. I have read books 1, 2 and 3. The only trouble with this book is that it seems to be a repeat of the last 3, ie; same war different characters.
