I received a free copy of The Kingdom of the Sun and Moon from Goodreads First Reads. The Kingdom of the Sun and Moon is an intriguing tale primarily surrounding the adventures and brave acts of two mice, brothers Sommer and Nesbit of the Long Meadow colony. Through a series of unusual events, the brothers' paths divide then, ultimately, merge as the secrets of their kingdom are slowly revealed. Recruited to join the Eagle Guard, an elite force in the König's army, Sommer faces a doomed mission and almost certain death. Meanwhile, having made an unfortunate remark about the König, Nesbit embarks on an equally perilous flight from the König's ruthless forces while evading vicious predators at every turn. Yet, apart and together, the brothers must succeed if their kingdom is to survive their harsh König's rule and see a brighter future. I truly enjoyed reading this book and would consider rereading it again. Press is an excellent storyteller. The pacing was appropriate--picking up during the action scenes, which came pretty often. The twists and turns in the plot kept it very engaging. At times, I was only one step ahead of where the story would take me next. (That's what I get for thinking the plot of a children's story would be obvious and uncomplicated. ^_^) Overall, I think it's a great book. The way the story concluded was satisfying, albeit a little sad. I miss Sommer, Nesbit, and their friends already. Still, I would recommend this book to lovers of children's fiction of all ages.* *There is some violence and death that might not be appropriate for very young audiences. But even Disney movies have that soooo...use your own discretion. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
The K nig is a tyrant. His subjects are starving. And all-out war is fast approaching. Will a pair of young, courageous brothers save their kingdom? When an emissary sent by the K nig himself stops by the remote mouse colony of Long Meadow, the peaceful life Sommer and Nesbit have shared is turned upside down-and the brothers are catapulted into separate death-defying adventures. Sommer, levelheaded and clever, is ordered to the palace to join the K nig's illustrious Eagle Guard as it prepares to face a full-scale invasion by the nefarious Emperor Wolfsmilch and his army of a hundred thousand forest mice. Meanwhile, the small but spirited Nesbit is banished to the Forest of Lost Life for insulting the K nig, and must dodge hungry predators at every turn. The brothers struggle to reunite and defy the oppressors who threaten everyone and everything they have ever known and loved. But time is quickly running out for both of them-and the fate of the kingdom hinges on one last, daring mission. Set against the magnificent backdrop of Sch nbrunn Palace in Vienna, Austria, The Kingdom of the Sun and Moon is an action-packed adventure story for young readers and adults alike.

This book was clearly made for a much younger audience - perhaps middle grade? The story follows a group of mice (yes, first person animal...not my forte) and their adventures. It's filled with courage, hope, action, adventure, talking animals, suspense and a beautifully woven tale.
I did enjoy this book, but it was not aimed for the adult audience. Younger readers would find this book way more interesting than I did. It did not have me hooked, despite the twists and turns within this. It simply didn't move well with an adult audience, in my opinion. Lowell H Press is amazing! For a child's book it's great, but if I had to read this to a child I would probably get bored very quickly. I personally like stories that can sit well with both adults and children. That being said, it still had incredible benefits!
The book is visual and gives an enchanting set of descriptions as you go along. You can picture to world forming around you, which is very rare in the books I've read. The tale that's woven would get kids excited - mice battles, brotherhood, friendship, courage! These are all types of topics kids are interested in! Read this to children, it's a great read!!
Overall, I think this was a cute children's novel. I would recommend it to schools and libraries to fill their shelves, because it's definitely age appropriate for children.
Two out of five stars - great children's read, did not work well for the adult audience (in my opinion).
I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads. ( )
