"A highly disappointing read"

This story tells the tale of a fantasy battle between good and evil, manifesting itself in this book as a battle between light and dark, the Sun and the Moon.

A world of another time and place has been the spoils of war between Sun and Moon for as long as anyone can remember. No one remembers anymore a time long past when the Sun ruled the land, providing light and happiness to all living creatures and plants. The Moon has dominated with fear and pain but it is slowly losing strength. The Sun is once again growing strong and coming to defeat the Moon in their infinite battle. The Moon Lord knows he must find the strength to defeat the sun, and tries to build that power by feeding on the sexual energies of his people and himself. But will he succeed or will the kind and good Sun win the war once and for all?

This reviewer did not like this book at all, for many reasons, and had a hard time finishing it, even as short as it was. The progression of the story, what little there is, is very choppy, jumping around a lot, and doesn't flow well at all. The book is only about 20 pages but there are at least three different storylines going at once which made it very hard to follow. Also, this story is nothing but sex, sex, and more sex, with a feeble attempt at a storyline being thrown in to make that necessary.

Unfortunately, the story, which is a good premise and could have made for a good book, is overwhelmed by the purely gratuitous sex and an overuse of crude anatomical references. Granted, this book is an erotica story, so sex is key in this genre, but this short story is more pornographic then anything. This reviewer got no sense of emotion from any character, save one that showed a glimmer of feeling, and none of the couples in any storyline showed any depth to their relationships beyond lust. Sadly, the most emotion gotten out of the plotline in the book was that of a young boy for his puppy, who only shows up in the last few pages.

So, if a reader wants a book that is nothing but lust and sex and orgies, then this is the book to read. If one wants any semblance of a plot, skip this one unless looking to be disappointed.

Summary

In the mother world of the Qui'sioe the land has been dark for uncountable turns of the sand clock. The castle of the Moon Master echoed to the torture and despair of the people as they are used as sexual offerings so the dreams of the light are kept at bay. A titanic battle ensues as the Sun fights to rise into the world and restore the sensual enjoyment and love to all the peoples. A tale of fantasy, sexual glory and myth making that chills the blood and, like the Sun, awakens erotic senses.
