Six Moon Dance
Ratings5
Average rating2.6
It was many years ago that humans came and settled the world of Newholme -- cruelly bending the planet to their will; setting down roots and raising up cities and farms and a grand temple to their goddess. But now the ground itself is shaking with ever-increasing violence. And the Great Questioner, official arbiter of the Council of Worlds, has come to this isolated orb to investigate rumors of a terrible secret that lies buried deep within Newholme's past -- a past that is not dead, not completely. And it will fall to Mouche, a beautiful youth of uncommon cleverness and spirit, to save his imperiled home by dicovering and embracing that which makes him unique among humans. For every living thing on newholme is doomed, unless Mouche can appease something dark and terrible that is coiled within... and surrender to the mysterious ecstatic revelry that results when the six moons join.

Worst case of “tell don't show” i've read in many years. Terribly bad.
After several boring and consecutive lectures, some ridiculously disguised as dialogues between characters explaining the world they have lived their entire lives, some actually 3rd person auctorial lectures not disguised at all... i gave up, feeling like 3rd grade.
Too bad for the probably good worldbuilduing (not so much for the fantasy, even YA, characters).
This was a very interesting look at how a people's beliefs and laws were challenged by some outside observers and by ancient secrets coming to the front. I liked how the Questioner's curiosity led her and others to the truth about Newholme.
