    Epic story telling 😁

    Night of the Shadow Moon is book 3 in the Furyck Saga and it’s absolutely awesome!! I’ve been recommending this series to everyone, I read a lot of books but sometimes you stumble across a book that’s just really special and the story and characters stay with you long after you finish reading....this series is that for me, it’s truly a privilege to read something so wonderfully written! Fans of this series are gonna love book 3 so much, it’s non stop action, thrills and heart stopping moments!! I just love the storytelling through the multiple view points and all the characters are so unique I just love them or hate them lol!! So excited for book 4!!

  • Carol Thompson

    I can't recommend this series enough! I love it when I stumble on a series that I simply can't put down, the type of series that makes you want to run out and tell everyone! This is a series that will forever be one of my all time favorites. In such a short time I grew to love and care about these characters.... I'm soooo looking forward to the 4th book!

    Read this series!!!!!

    Magic, witches (kinda), dreams, love but not in a creepy cheap love story way, prophecies, kingdoms, strong female lead, fighting, good guys, bad guys.... Just read the series!!!!

  • Kenzie Lyn

    That’s it, I’m done. This may be the only series I will ever find so tediously long winded that I simply refuse to suffer in the name of finishing it. At approximately 700 pages per installment/book, bowing out after having read installments 1-3 feels akin to defeat. However, getting through the three remaining installments would be masochistic & I cannot bring myself to do it.

    There are entire chapters in these books which have no relevance to the story. The internal dialogue is often monotonous babble which does nothing to enhance the your understanding of plot or characters.

    The story itself is interesting and would be worth ensuring a certain amount of dragging. Someone with a high tolerance for constant & rarely relevant asides would likely enjoy this series. Too often it felt as though you were suffering through large chunks of the reading, hoping your interest would be recaptured if you just kept going.

    Oh how the saga continues!!! I love it - all of it! Even when you absolutely despise some of the characters. The characters I love have woven themselves deep in my heart and I am anxious to find relief to their situations!

  • Tim Lumsden

    Really enjoyable book! Can't wait for book four! 4 1/2 Stars!!!!

    Great story, love the characters; Jael, Meena, Eadmund, all of them, good or bad. My only complaint was it seemed a little slow at times. But good heroine in Jael, epic fight between good and evil, magic, romance (not too much), and good writing style.
    Really great series. Try it. Happy Reading!!!!

    I was planning on taking a break from this series as I had other books lined up to read. I found I couldn’t and had to read the rest.

    Engaging and well paced throughout. The story moved along at a great pace and kept my interest up building to an inevitable conclusion that once again has me setting aside my reading plans and going straight into the next instalment

  • Miriam O'Shea

    The third instalment of the Furyck saga was as enjoyable and captivating as the first two. Definitely not to be read as a stand alone as it continues from where book 2 finished and ended on a very unsatisfying cliffhanger which has me reaching immediately for book 4!
    This book was faster and more tightly written than book 2, while it was a little slow in parts, those stretches explored characters and different parts of the world so I was never bored. A definite 5/5 stars, the Furyck saga is now a firmly enshrined favourite of mine and one I am already looking forward to rereading.

  • Victoria

    I would say that this book was a “filler” book used in the same way that tv shoes use filler arcs to gain time to move the story along. Or in this series case, pu the characters where they were supposed to be without making leaps that would hurt the plot of the series. It was a character developing book. Not much happening in between the pages and therefore my 3 star qualification. I’ll be interested to know what’s coming next.

  • Yasmin Danielle

    Considering this is a saga, usually around the third book I get bored and I can honestly say that this isn’t the case for the Furyck books. I’m addicted and forever to wanting more!

    The Night of the Shadow Moon is fast paced and action packed, focusing on consequences of a failed unionship at Hest, and the darkness that has always surrounded Tuurans. Premonitions lead the blind, whilst the sighted can only see death and leadership.

    Summary of events as in my own words...

    The Burning Sea is no longer ablaze though that does not mean the battle has ended, if anything it has truly just begun. Jael and Eadmund run towards the darkness and away from the ones they love; for Jael it is to save their lives, though for Eadmund we can only hope he can save his own.

    The greatest battle will unfold for Jael for she is a born Furyck, Furia’s daughter, Eadmund’s wife and Queen of Oss. She would not be cowed by anyone, especially not the likes of the Gallas Family or The Following. Though, cowering is not the issue here, it is the damage that Tuura orchestrated, that the Osslanders must overcome, especially as Eadmund’s life, just like Edela’s, hangs in the balance.

    “‘Sometimes, you have to fight to make yourself safe. You have to fight for your freedom.”

    Final Thoughts
    I am absolutely still invested in this story! Though I think some of the sections could do with being longer, or combined into one, I still like that the narrative style allows for regular cuts to other perspectives around the fictional world. I especially like that the villains and the heroes are given regular screen time for better dramatic irony. Jael’s growth as a dreamer in this book is genuinely interesting, and I like the gradual shift from basic politics to dealing with much high stakes across the board. While Eadmund is still struggling against Ivaar, Jael is occupied with the Book of Darkness–both struggles are tangible for reader and characters alike, but it’s also easy to see why priorities are different between the two characters.

    A must read series, one of THE BEST epic stories ever!!

    This series, 'The Furyck Saga’ is one of THE best I've ever read. It's filled with some excellent characters and there's a lot of meat on the bones of these books, they're the right length and filled with so many twists & turns that will have you cheering, jeering, and sobbing in equal measure.

    The only regret I have is that the books ended at all, but the story is truly epic & surpasses Game of Thrones and rivals Lord of the Ring in content, excitement & characters.

    Be prepared to despise and love and lament in equal measure, but gift yourself this 6 book series, read our listened to in order - you'll be so glad you did!!

  • Sarah Ackermann

    I really wanted to like this book series, and at first I did. It was a good story, and I was very interested. But as the story has gone on, this series has proven to be entirely reliant on the played-out tropes of defenseless women and rape. With the exception of the main character Jael, almost every female character in the story is sad, incapable, and defenseless. And almost all of them are raped at some point in the story. Is that really necessary to move forward your plot? Apparently the author couldn’t think of a more creative way to show hardship and strife for her characters. Particularly disappointing from a female author!

  • Harmony

    Gah! So good! Oh man are there some scary characters in this book: Jaeger, Evaine, Morana, Gerod! The storyline got way more complex in this novel with the addition of the Following. The prophesy becomes clearer, yet there are so many unanswered questions and again, a cliff hanger. I’m thoroughly loving this series. Every single bit of it. I originally started it thinking it was a trilogy and am pleasantly surprised that it isn’t and there are several more books left to read. I can’t wait!

  • Natalia Caceres Bjorklund

    I wouldn't recommend this book to everyone...it definitely is for a specific type of reader I would say. For me, the overall story has kept me on the edge to find out what was going to happen next, and overall I really enjoy the main characters - it's like watching a viking show. Although there are some nuances with the story telling that I find a little too Deus ex Machina, but that is pretty common with epic fantasy. So, you are warned.

  • Sue

    There's action and suspense, romance and more character development, and the plot is completely intriguing... I was tearing through the pages, completely engrossed and on the edge of my seat." For anyone who is a fan of Sara J. Mass, George R R Martin, Erin Watt and Catherine Banks you will love this series. I finished the book in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. A job well one A.E. Rayne!!

  • Amy

    I can't believe I have to wait.

    The next book is not out yet. When I started this series i did not realize it wasn't finished. Now I have to wait. This an awesome book i fell in love with the characters. One of those you think about all the time when your not reading. I would definitely co.late it to GOT. Loved it.

  • Rosemary Hughes

    Our saga continues, with incidents in Oss, Hest, Kalfa, Andala and Tuura, simultaneously.
    It is fast moving action on all fronts, with siblings fighting siblings, kings being assassinated and members of "The Following", do everything possible to rain havoc down on Jael and her intrepid band of woman and men, trying to preserve life for all.
    Again an excellent and dramatic episode.

  • Angie

    Jael the Warrior Queen!

    This is a very adventurous book with tons of detailed fighting... but I'm not a fan of the crude language, sex, and vulgarity of evil men. Now as for Jael, she is an honorable queen and everything that stands for good. She becomes trapped in her worst nighmare trying to save her grandma from death. This gets her stick in Tuura. Will she save them?

  • Anita Johnson

    Great Book to Read!

    I couldn't but this book down. I did not review the second book, but you need to read it also if you read the first book. You will just wan to keep turning the pages and read. I have already purchased the fourth and fifth books. I would recommend these books to everyone.
