Luna: Nów

This one didn't click at all with me. I normally like my complicated fantasy/sci-fi political maneuverings and family dramas, but I didn't really care about any of the characters. There's no real main character, instead you follow members of the Corta family as they pit their business, money, and prestige against other families who are gunning for what Corta has. The point of view bounces around so much between the 5 or 6 family members that you really don't spend a lot of time with any one of them, which I think takes away a lot of the story's impact. Compounding my disconnect with the story were the continued usage of unfamiliar terms, which I ended up having to write down to keep track of what they meant using context clues.

I think my favorite point of view ended up being the matriarch's retelling of how the Cortas got to where they are, while my least favorite by a long margin was Lucasinho. The author has a really good writing style and I can see why others like this series so much, but it didn't do anything for me and I likely will not be continuing with the series.
