Summary: He was the boy on the moon,

And when he fell, The stars fell too. ☾☾☾ The Division says the walls protect us, The Division says they will save us, The Division says humanity went to the stars, But they never came back down. The seas rose, the moon went red and we were born from the ashes of our ancestors lies. No one knows what happened to the Earth we all once knew. No one knows why the moon drips with blood. No one questions where all the humans went. No one dares ask why. The First Rise came and went leaving the moon to shine down in hues of crimson and rose. Our society a frame of cracked glass, on the verge of shattering. We were separated, divided, our home carved into the mountains peak, out of reach of the roaring toxic seas. We needed a hero. Yet, when he arrived, no one knew that when he fell, his world would come crashing down too. ☾☾☾ When Nell Carter, a wandering misfit sees the boy on the moon all forces turn against her. With her best-friends accused of crimes they didn't commit and a death warrant hung around her neck Nell has no other choice then to run away, leaving behind everything she's ever known. Thrown amongst a group of sky thieving pirates, lawless savages, a flooded world and a moon that falls down to earth. He was the boy on the moon, And when he fell, The stars fell too.

Reviewer's Remarks: The Glass Moon is a work of Science Fiction. The story revolves around a female protagonist by the name Nell and takes place during the time Earth has declined. First, let me focus on the plot. I like the story's concept - it is very compelling. The heroine is a character I definitely admired - it has been said in many reviews and I agree too that character development is always necessary. 

The manner of writing - especially the short lyrical verses in the book (the first chapter was my favourite) - is beautiful. There was no fault in grammar and the use of vocabulary allowed me to envision the story more properly.

A note to the author: What I would advise you to do is instead of focusing more on your style of writing you should also consider what is going on in your story. Although your style of writing was beautiful (no doubt) I found myself skimming through the chapters. Like I said above, I really like the plot but you should assure that our readers are attentive by editing out parts that may seem unnecessary. 

Rating (out of five): 4
