Get Back The Abandoned Luna

Reads awkward because not edited well. Slows down the story. Plot and subplots are complicated and melodramatic but intriguing, like a soap opera. I keep reading because links between the characters and their conflicts are fascinating. The romantic connection enhances the emotion and adds a contrast to the violence. Layers of conflict - external physical contact, battles and wars, internal struggles, deep emotions, love, self-doubt, and the stress of leadership - intertwine tempting the reader forward. It is plausible to accept the magic and fantasy, but confusing to include the shifts between past and present times with modern transportation and phones but living in medieval settings, riding horses, using swords, using candles. I can’t imagine the costumes. These conflicts confuse the reader and makes transition difficult.
