A Ballad of Falling Dragons: More Romance, More Revelations & THAT Cliffhanger

Today I’m reviewing A Ballad of Falling Dragons by Sarah A. Parker, the highly anticipated sequel to When the Moon Hatched—and while I didn’t love it quite as much as the first book, that second half absolutely delivered.This sequel flips the balance of its predecessor. The first half leans much more heavily into the romantasy side of Raeve and Kaan’s relationship, and while I love these characters, I sometimes found myself wishing we would move beyond the romance and get back to the larger fantasy story unfolding around them.Then we hit that halfway point, and everything changes.The pacing takes off, the fantasy moves front and center, multiple POVs deepen the story, and revelation after revelation completely reshapes what we thought we knew. The Khazari, Veya, the Scavenger King, and the larger conflicts happening throughout this world were some of my favorite parts—and thankfully, we actually get answers to some of those lingering questions from book one.And that ending?! Jaw. On. The. Floor. I need the next book immediately.⭐ 4.5/5 stars🎧 Tune in for my spoiler-free review as I break down the shift from romantasy to fantasy, the expanded POVs, character development, worldbuilding, and why that explosive second half made the slower beginning completely worth it.Follow on Spotify for more fantasy, romantasy, sci-fi, and spoiler-free book reviews!#ABalladOfFallingDragons #SarahAParker #WhenTheMoonHatched #Romantasy #BookReviewPodcast
