Moon Deeds by Palmer Pickering

 

Book Description:

It's 2090: the last outpost of freedom is the moon, the best defense against technology is magic, and the only hope for humankind rests in the hands of the Star Children.

Twins Cassidy and Torr must save Earth from a ruthless enemy at a time when the only force more powerful than alien technology is magic. Moon Deeds launches the siblings' journey across the galaxy, where they must learn their power as the Star Children, claim their shamanic heritage, and battle dark forces that threaten humankind.

The Star Children Saga follows Cassidy and Torr as they slowly awaken to their destiny as the twin Star Children, born every millennium to reconnect with the source of all life. They come to discover the sheer enormity of their task: to find our ancestors on a lost planet across the galaxy and save humanity from a spiraling descent into darkness. The powers they must wield to accomplish this task are truly frightening and put at risk everything they love.

Come along with 20-year-old twins Cassidy and Torr, who inherited deeds to land parcels on the moon. They want to use their moon deeds to get off Earth and escape a brutal dictatorship. But first they must unlock their shaman powers.

A rollicking yet poignant adventure in the not too distant future, when we have colonized the moon and nearly lost Earth to a dictatorship. Only the shamans remain free, plus the lucky ones who escaped to the moon.

Join the adventure! An addictive space opera, science-fantasy series.

My Thoughts:

This is the kind of story that I love to get lost in.  Usually I prefer a romance book, but sometimes I just need a good fantasy or science fiction book.  This book was it for me.  I was expecting the world building and character introductions as this is the first in what I'm hoping to be a long series!  It was a book that I honestly got pulled into and truly enjoyed.

I think for me it was the characters and how well they were written.  The story itself is wonderful but the author did an absolutely fabulous job with the characters.  I can't wait to see where the next book takes them and what is going to happen!  Already waiting on the second book!
