Moonblood Tales of Goldstone Wood Book #3 edition by Anne Elisabeth Stengl Religion Spirituality eBooks

Having read the first two books in this series and loved them (especially Veiled Rose), I was eager to read this one. This book is a bit different than the other two, but still good. To me, at least, the first two came across as very allegorical. This one, while it makes some very good points about faith and forgiveness, is more of a sequel to Veiled Rose. The author has taken the world and the characters she created and run with them. This isn't a bad thing; it's just different from the first two. While you could get away with reading Heartless and Veiled Rose in either order, I would definitely say that this one has to be read in order, after the other two.
The worst part about this book is that it spends several chapters in a time already told. So, while there is some new material added, the first part of the book is basically the last part of Heartless, from Leo's POV. I can understand that the author had to catch up, and it is certainly important to the story, but I found it irritating, as I wanted to get to the new stuff, not rehash what I already knew happened.
But, we get to find out what happens to Leo and Rosie! And all the old crew from Heartless are back, which is fun: Felix, Imraldera, Eanrin (it's not a faery tale if you don't have the annoying cat). It's also fun to see the back story slowly unfold. There have been hints all along about certain past events, and now it's starting to become clearer who's who, who did what, and how certain characters are connected.
After being forced to banish Rosie (read: after rejecting her when he should have stood by her); which still doesn't seal his people's trust in him and still ends in the result he was trying to avoid, Leo is finally forced to come to grips with the fact that maybe he wasn't trying to do the right thing as much as he thought. So, with a little help, he heads off into Faery to find Rosie. Unfortunately, she's in a part of Faery that hasn't been seen for half a century. And her father's insane and doesn't have particularly nice plans for her. The Dragon may be dead, but his children only sleep. And if there were a way to wake them, to control them...

Moonblood Tales of Goldstone Wood Book #3 edition by Anne Elisabeth Stengl Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews

Ok.... I got the first book of this series because it was free. I do not consider myself a fantasy lover or reader. Well, these books have changed my opinion. I was not going to buy the rest of the books because my local library actually had all of them but after reading this book (library's copy) I plunged in and bought them all, even the ones already read. This was my favorite thus far after reading the first two, not that I didn't love them also. It's intriguing to me how it's all one long story that ties together but not in the typical linear way. Excellent!!!
Moonblood is the sequel to Veiled Rose. It continues the story of Rose Red and Prince Lionhart. Rose Red has been kidnapped to the world of the goblins. Prince Lionhart has lost everything that was dear to him including Rose Red's friendship. Because of his own folly Rose Red is now in danger, and Lionhart feels the need to redeem himself and save her.

This book is filled with non-stop action and excitement. Moonblood answers some questions about the series, but it also creates new questions. I couldn't put this book down. I devoured it in a few hours time, and couldn't wait to read the next book in the series. The price for this book is great! A must read for any Christian fantasy fan!
This series just keeps getting better! In Moonblood, the third book in the Tales of Goldstone Wood, Rose Red is held captive in her father's realm, Arpiar, and Lionheart is searching for her, hoping to redeem himself after banishing her from the near world. Prince Felix, Una's little brother re-enters the story and we catch up on how he is faring after leaving the Haven still contaminated with dragon poison. Side stories start to weave together as the author spins her tale in this entertaining story and we learn more about the legends of Goldstone Woods. New characters are introduced in a way that adds depth to the original storyline.

Anne Elisabeth Stengl is a master of allegory. I've said it before but it bears repeating, her use of the Prince of Farthestshore as an allegory of Christ and the dragon as a symbol of evil are one of my favorites! Prince Lionheart demonstrates the power of redemption as he seeks to right the mistakes of his past. With so many young adult books out there filled with death and violence, this story provides an alternative without losing any of the adventure and mystery of a good fantasy story.

Creative and engaging, I had a hard time putting this book down, and am looking forward to the next installment in the series.
Wow.

With each book in the Goldstone Wood series, Anne Elisabeth Stengl pulls the reader further and deeper into the magical world and the lives of her characters. This is the third book in the series, and it pushed past everything we've seen so far.

The books all overlap a bit, to give us the tale from another character's viewpoint. As with the previous book, Moonblood focused largely on Lionheart and his life. He is a complex character that is hard to hate, yet hard to love. As the reader, I wanted to love him. I kept hoping that he would cast aside his cowardice and become the man his name suggests he is. He let me down time and time again, but the beauty of Stengl's world is that her characters are so believably human. They are selfish, cowardly, shallow, stubborn, and fickle. Yet they each have the opportunity to change and find forgiveness.

I loved Rose Red in this book. She was so strong, yet so obstinate. She refused to call for help when she needed it. I've always loved her character, though, and I was very happy with how things turned out for her.

I sobbed my way through the last 20% of the book. Not all of my tears were sad. Some of them were, but a lot of them were happy, too. To say that I liked this book would be a gross understatement. I loved it. I loved the message. I loved the characters. I loved the writing. I can't wait to start the next one!
