Customer Reviews

Tbf I did not read the first book

I thought this was cute and sweet and interesting! A little slow and dry at first, but toward the end it started to feel more like McKillip’s usual dreamy writing I adore. Didn’t really feel like anything special, but there are elements to it I will remember, and I had a good time.

A Sci-fi outing from McKillip

Although not one of Paticia McKillips's best books, 'The Moon and the Face' is an entertaining venture into Sci-Fi. The two main characters, Kyreol and Terje, come from a simple, primitive world called Riverworld. Since their discovery of higher technology and more advanced worlds elsewhere, they have determined that they could never return to their birthplace. But a series of events brings them face to face with their past.This story is told with the lyrical and eloquent use of language that is typical of McKillip. It contains elements of romance and action, and is recommended.
