Blue Moon Rising (Blue Moon Series) Paperback – August 12, 2016

Long time favorite. One of the discussions with a nephew lead to him stating Lord of the Rings was the best fantasy of all time. I asked him what else he had read, and there wasn't anything. So this was one of my top picks for him to expand his mind.

The story just sucked me into it. I stayed up way to late because I just could not put the book down.

As a reader of the Nightside and Secret Histories (Drood Family) series of SImon Green's, I was intrigued to check this book out. Great read from a "medieval fantasy" type angle - good storyline, lots of action, funny/gregarious characters. That's one of the things I love about Green - his characters are good for a laugh, usually in a snarky, hard-boiled gumshoe type way. Some of the characters actually reminded me of those from his other series - not sure whether that's a good thing or not.All in all, it was a good read, though I think his Nightside and Secret Histories series are better. That being said, I'll still probably pick up the next one in this series.

I really enjoyed this book. It was definitely intriguing and kept me wanting to read more. Looking forward to the next book.

This reminded me of Shrek and Donkey on a journey with some evil demons thrown in. If you like the Shrek/Donkey banter, you will like this book. I stopped reading after the first in the series as I like something darker with fewer talking Unicorns.

Simon R Greene is one of my favorite authors, and this is by far my favorite of his books. Excellent writing and a great plot come together to form an amazing story that stands well alone or with the rest of the series!

I read this book over 20 years ago, after having read the entire Hawk and Fisher series. I have to say this book is great, both as prequel and as a stand alone story. It is an interesting take on prince rescuing the princess, quite diffrent than what would be normally be expected in such a story, and well worth your time. It has definitely stayed in my reread list over the years. I don't want to spoil the story, but Simon Green wrote an amazing cast of characters for this, and while a little violent for younger readers, it is a fast paced story that you won't want to put down. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Good for people under 30

i like the serie, it is very good written with a lot of humor

this is one of the most family friendly Graphic audio books i have heard so far.

Dieser Fantasyroman scheint zuerst nicht ganz ernst gemeint zu sein. Am Anfang reitet ein jungfräulicher Prinz auf einem Einhorn los um eine Prinzessin von einem Drachen zu befreien, aber letztendlich rettet er dann den Drachen vor der Prinzessin.Man sollte sich aber von dieser Scherzhaftigkeit nicht verleiten lassen, denn in diesem Roman geht es knallhart zur Sache. Der Humor in diesem Buch ist Galgenhumor, oft bleibt einem das Lachen im Halse stecken. Der Prinz hat eine pragmatische, leicht zynische Weltsicht, welche ihm hilft die Dinge so zu sehen wie sie wirklich sind. Diese tiefergehende Einsicht hat er aber auch dringend nötig, denn es lauern Gefahren und Gegner auf seinem weiteren Weg, die absolut keinen Spaß verstehen.Dieses Buch ist ein Vorläufer zur Hawk & Fisher Serie. Es wird aber eine komplett abgeschlossene Geschichte erzählt, man kann sich also ohne Nebenwirkungen mit dieser Fantasyreihe von Simon R. Green bekannt machen.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHAT EDITION YOU BUY!I don’t want to give a synopsis of the books. The one provided by Amazon is already pretty good.Beforehand I have read the „Hawk and Fisher“ series and I couldn’t wait for more adventures of them and other people from this world.When I finally got hold of this book, I started to read and suddenly the page following page 288 was not page 289 but page 353! I looked really hard and I couldn’t find the missing pages elsewhere in the book!I have the 2005 edition of „A Roc Book“.I don’t know if other editions have the missing pages or if just mine has this flow, but I advise you to watch what book you are buying!I don’t want to miss what’s on the missing pages, but I also want to know the ending!Ich hope you don’t have to suffer the same as me.

A brilliant foray into the forest Kingdom this was a great start to what will be another great series from Simon r Green, Rupert is just what a Prince should be strong sarcastic a bit jadeded and in love with the princess who can hold her own and fight her own battles without someone telling her how too
