The Eclipsed by Dara Kent seems a unique themed book. A different world with a different lifestyle and reality. Congratulations on #BOTD.

I really like the sound of this book, all of the different fantastical elements sound amazing. I can't stop wondering about what is the unexpected element. Great review.

This is certainly a unique story with supernatural beings called Luna's that take the dead away and ensure that if it is a humans' fixed time to die that they do die. Then the death is recorded in a book by the Luna. Some humans have orange auras and create problems for the Luna's. Your review makes me wonder what happens to Six and what Eighty-nine decides to do. This is not my genre, though. So, I will pass. Congratulations on BOTD.

Good review. This book reminds me of Shakespeares’s famous soliloquy. To be or not to be. To be harmed haunted destroyed by what you need the most.If I had the power, I would make this book an overnight bestseller. It passes the jealousy test, I wish I had written it myself

Sounds like a complex and unique landscape. Outside forces that have a hold on our reality and whether we live or die? Sounds interesting indeed. Thank you for the well written review! Happy reading :techie-studyinggray:

This is a good book but has no sympathy for humans or himself. Entertaining to say the least.

I find the premise of the book particularly new to me. The same goes for the name of the characters being numbers. I like that the ending is unexpected, as I always want to read books that have plot twists.

The beauty of sci-fi lies in the ability of the author to create fictional realities. In The Eclipsed , the author did an excellent job of this.

Good review! This book reminds me of a korean drama that was broadcasted on television with a similar plot. This should be interesting. I had a double take on the name as I assumed the names were a grammatical error. My bad. Anyway, great review and a great book!
Happy reading,
Gelli xoxo

This book has a captivating storyline. It would be interesting to read about a world were people are born as adults. Great one from Dara Kent.

I love this book. I really do feel for Eighty-nine. She lost Six and a lot seems to change in her life. Knowing an adult and losing same is depressing enough. This happens to all of us as humans. She begins to question reality because of her loss. I have to read the whole book to find out what really happened to Six.

This story gives a unique twist to a sort of overused trope. It seems the author was doing a good job to get ahold of the plotline in the sample and the minor errors are also commendable. Thank you for the review.
