The Knight and the Moth

De: Rachel Gillig

Narrado por: Samantha Hydeson

From NYT bestselling author Rachel Gillig comes the next big romantasy sensation, a gothic, mist-cloaked tale of a young prophetess forced on an impossible quest with the one knight whose future is beyond her sight. Perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout and Leigh Bardugo.

Sybil Delling has spent nine years dreaming of having no dreams at all. Like the other foundling girls who traded a decade of service for a home in the great cathedral, Sybil is a Diviner. In her dreams she receives visions from six unearthly figures known as Omens. From them, she can predict terrible things before they occur, and lords and common folk alike travel across the kingdom of Traum’s windswept moors to learn their futures by her dreams.

Just as she and her sister Diviners near the end of their service, a mysterious knight arrives at the cathedral. Rude, heretical, and devilishly handsome, the knight Rodrick has no respect for Sybil's visions. But when Sybil's fellow Diviners begin to vanish one by one, she has no choice but to seek his help in finding them. For the world outside the cathedral’s cloister is wrought with peril. Only the gods have the answers she is seeking, and as much as she'd rather avoid Rodrick's dark eyes and sharp tongue, only a heretic can defeat a god.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"I’m obsessed with Rachel Gillig. The Knight and the Moth is achingly romantic, richly imagined, and told with a gossamer delicacy that keeps the pages flying."—Hannah Whitten, author of The Foxglove King

"With the headiness of dreams and the darkness of haunted abbeys, The Knight and the Moth is a dazzlingly transportive tale of love, salvation, and freedom that cements Gillig as one of the finest fantasy writers of our age. You will never want to surface from these enchanting, depthless waters."—Ava Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning

“A gothic, romantic fairytale that feels like falling into a dark, strange dream—one you won’t want to wake from. With twisty parables, monstrous divinities, a slow-burn romance and magic with a deadly cost, the story of The Knight and the Moth unfolds like peeling back a gossamer shroud. Gillig has done it again—I’m obsessed.”—Amélie Wen Zhao, New York Times bestselling author of Song of Silver, Flame Like Night

I crieddddd so hard

The narrator was perfect and I loved the Gargoyle’s voice. A beautiful love story and then the jaw dropping cliffhanger! Rory and Sybil 💕💕💕

Slow Start, Strong Finish— Gargoyle is BB Girl

Wellllllllll. I’ll say that this was a slow start for me— the world building and lore dump in the beginning felt a little tedious. It was interesting, it just didn’t have my rapt attention and took a bit of extra focus for me to truly absorb. Around 20ish% in I started to really become engrossed in the story and characters. And I will say that the ending kind of brought me full circle and made the beginning much more interesting upon reflection— which is why I decided on a full 5⭐️ despite my feelings early on.

MCs had great banter and chemistry, side characters had strong and dynamic relationships, and I grew very fond of quite a few characters (read: gargoyle lol).

The story was very interesting, quite twisty, and while some things may have been a bit predictable, others definitely were not… or at least not fully??? Anyways, it was a good time and I’m really anticipating the next book in the duology.

So good.

I was enraptured the entire time I read. But sigh, that cliffhanger. Gonna be a long wait till the next book comes out.

Loved it!!!

Rachel did it again with another great story! The world building, the characterization, the beautiful writing—it was all done so well! Dare I say that I liked this one even better than One Dark Window. There were themes that really resonated with me. And the romance was a top tier slow burn! Also, the gargoyle!!! I love him so much! I can’t wait for the next book to continue with these characters and story.

Fantastic Storyline and Really Lovable Main Character.

I REALLY wish I would have realized this series wasn't complete before starting this book. it had me by the throat since chapter one. athe character buikding, amazing. The voice acting, 10/10. The action, top notch. The romance, slow, beautiful build. The freaking twist at the end?! Heartwrenching. the only thing I'm upset about with this book is that there isn't already another one out. I also wish there was a bit more spice during the romance scenes, but the build up to it was so teasing. All in all a FANTASTIC read and I highly recommend it.

Original imaginative moving - a rare find

The biggest wow of this story was how authentic the personalities were. Romantic storyline made sense and was both fun and touching and … sigh.
Magical world surprised me with originality. The whole story surprised me, to be honest.
Can’t say I foresaw the ending which left me upset but also glad when I saw there’s a second book to follow.
Some truly beautiful scenes. Some parts were basic or ordinary but just loved the friendships and conversations.
Some almost painfully true insights about life sprinkled in too.
I didn’t care for author’s previous series. But this one was plain wow.
I’m thrilled with narrator when I don’t even think about the narration.
So wish I could find more books like this, of any of genres I enjoy.

A masterpiece

This feels like a new classic. To be discussed and enjoyed over and over again. The narration is incredible and I was truly sad when it was over.

I’m torn between the writing and the story, both 5 stars!

It's been awhile since I listened to a book and I didn't want it to end. I loved this book! I metered it out to myself. I want so many books to be shorter, thinking many chapters to be superfluous. I wanted this one to be much longer. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for book two.
The first few chapters seem a slow, and a little confusing, but it all makes sense in the end. It’s so sad, but the writing was so good! (Rachel Gillig will be receiving a lot more of my time.) The story was wonderfully new and refreshing! Nothing even close to the same old, same old. It had just the right amount of everything, humor, romance, sex, tears, love, and surprises. Please don’t change that. The narration was perfect! I did guess the end about midway through, but there were many surprises that shocked me. I loved both the MC, and the Gargoyle, very early on and even more at the end. Broke my heart just a little. I loved all the characters, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I want to read the next one so badly but I’m content to wait…and savor this one for a bit. Sigh…

She does it again.

I love everything Rachel writes. It was my most anticipated book of the year and idk how I’m going to wait for the next one 😅

Loved it!

Full of story. Not a spicy story, slow burn. Something different to read and was absolutely enjoyable from beginning to end. Dark Garthic romance. 🩶
