Review: Warriors (The Librarian's Coven Book 2) by Kathryn Moon

Warriors Warriors by Kathryn Moon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Politics and Daring

I loved this book as much, if not more, than the first in the series. I have always believed that first books are generally a little slow in the plot stakes, because they have to establish EVERYTHING. The second book is where the plot takes off and this book is no exception.

With this book we are introduced to the coven member’s various families. Each family is unique and essential to the character formation of each coven mate, which means they must be believable. This author is so good at building individual characters, placing them in a group and creating a fantastic group dynamic. Kathryn Moon really understands personalities, that people have strengths and flaws and this is what makes them real. She takes that knowledge of people and creates these wonderful characters that are stubborn and loving, playful and strong. They have all the dichotomies that living people have.

In this book the story continues with the coven heading to Callum’s father’s house for the Winter Solstice. Callum does not have a good relationship with his Army General father, but he feels obligated to take his coven with him for the holiday.

Alone, this set up is meaty enough for a good story, but the author takes this situation and adds politics to the mix, stirs in a touch of action thriller and runs with it. It works!

I really enjoy ménage and RH books because of the interplay of the characters, but this book has ‘more’. Kathryn Moon writes wonderful prose that captures a snow filled day perfectly or makes the reader imagine the perfect dress for a concert. Add this writing gift to her understanding of human nature, plus her great plot creation that has you turning the pages quickly, and you have a really good book.

I must go and read the third book immediately!
