Black MoonTitle: Black Moon Author: Romina Russell Publication Date: December 6th, 2016 Publisher: Razorbill Category: Young Adult Genre: Sci-Fi Star Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Synopsis: One final secret stands between Rho and the enemy. But will the devastating truth be enough to destroy her first? Rho, the courageous visionary from House Cancer, lost nearly everything when she exposed and fought against the Marad, a mysterious terrorist group bent on destroying balance in the Zodiac Galaxy. Now, the Marad has disappeared without a trace, and an uneasy peace has been declared. But Rho is suspicious. She believes the Master is still out there in some other form. And looming over all are the eerie visions of her mother, who died many years ago, but is now appearing to Rho in the stars. When news of a stylish new political party supported by her best friend, Nishi, sends Rho on another journey across the galaxy, she uses it as an opportunity to hunt the hidden master and seek out information about her mother. And what she uncovers sheds light on the truth–but casts darkness upon the entire Zodiac world. My Thoughts:
I absolutely love this series and have since Zodiac. When I first read Zodiac not many people knew about it. It was Romina's first published book. I was getting books for Pasadena Loves YA in 2014 and Romina was on the author line-up. Zodiac sounded interesting and like nothing I have read before so I bought it. I'm so glad I made that decisions! I loved it so much and space has always been super intriguing to me. When I put down Wandering Star I wanted to cry because I knew I'd have to wait a year before I could have pretty little Black Moon in my hands. When it released, sadly I wasn't able to buy it right away because my horse eats my money (not really but it feels like it) so I had to wait about 1-2 weeks, Once I finally got it, I was ecstatic! So of course, I dove right in! Black Moon picks up a couple months after Wandering Star. She struggles with her feelings between Mathais and Hysan quite a bit in the beginning of this book. It was a bit frustrating just because of course I have my own ship for her but ever since Wandering Star my ship has been teetering. Rho's feelings as well as mine are resolved in this book. I'm not someone who is bothered by love triangles but I know some people are so I'm sure they are happy to hear that it's now over! Rho travels to other constellations trying to help decipher things about the Marad. They finally spend time in House of Aquarius. Call me biased but it was my favorite constellation that Romina has written about in this book. Yes, I am an Aquarius myself but I just found the world-building in this house to be beautiful. There was also quite a few scenes where Rho interacted with Pegazi and the equestrian in me had an uber fangirl moment! I was big time screaming internally because when one of your favorite books has some sort of horse related creature in it, that's just what happens. The relationship between Rho and one Pegazi in particular warmed my hear so much, ahhh the feels!! Besides the amazing Pegazi, Rho discovers some really important information during her time on Aquarius that leads her to gain more Intel on the Master. There are some pretty crazy plot twists that definitely had me gasping! I love a good book with surprises and I'm struggling to write this without spoiling them. Rho struggles with believing in herself which ultimately helps bring her closer to those around her. Toward the end I do feel like Rho begins to find herself and things begin to fall into place a bit as they discover true identities. I enjoy how as each book is written, the plot grows well and deepens, keeping me always wanting more. I love Romina's writing and cannot wait to have Thirteen Rising in my possession! It's going to be another long year... This story is just so unique and I love it, not to mention how gorgeous these covers are! It makes me want them all because they' make for amazing eye candy. The world building within the Zodiac was phenomenal but I honestly didn't expect anything less. I cant wait to see where Rho and Romina take us with Thirteen Rising. A fangirl moment story: Romina posted a photo on her Facebook of fanart between Rho and the Pegazi she bonded with. I commented on it saying: "Oh how I love it!!! 😍😍😍 The equestrian in me died that Rho bonded with her. I was like YESSS. YOU GO GIRL. THEY'RE AMAZING." A total nerdy comment, I know! Haha. Romina replied to my comment saying: "Yaaaay!!! I actually thought of you when I wrote about the Pegazi!!!" That moment honestly made my year!
