The Ruby Key (Moon and Sun Series #1)

Great Childrens book

Everyone in my family including my 9 year old daughter enjoyed this book. Its a must read for any young reader and adult.

LOVE IT SO, SO MUCH! <3

Dear Reader,
This book was amazing. At first I thought it seemed a little far-fetched if you know what I mean but then, after about 30 pages into it, it captured me. The challenges Genna faces with every new person, thing, object, ect. But, the only doubt I had about this book, is that I can barely make it though a book unless it has romance in it. So, it was a little disappointing when I found out the age of Doyati. But then, around a little after the climax of the book, something happens to him to, lets just say (cause I don't want to spoil it for you but, I think I might) he magically becomes Genna's age, or some what older, and she finds him attractive and handsome. Also, like the last page and I quote this, "I turn and caught Doyati watching me, a small, private smile on his face. His cheeks flushed and he averted his eyes." Now that was incouraging to the romance in it. Also, that is the part where he tells her she will have to start studing magic with him, so as you can see, he is falling for her and I wish so badly that I had The Silver Door right now so I could reach it. Enjoy! <3 <3

LOVED IT!!

THis is one of my fav. books EVER!!! ( and thats saying something because ive read over 500 books and im 13) Great charecters and imagination! the second book was awsome i just wanted more Doyati in it/

Good start to what I hope will be a good series

Normally, I don't like fantasy - I find much of it to be cliche. But this was an engaging tale with relatable characters and nice plot twists. It did get a bit confusing at times, but for the most part, one can sail through it without getting too perplexed. I've bought this book and am looking forward to the next in the series.

Due to an agreement between the humans and Nightlings, the two are never to meet. But when Genna and her younger brother, Dan, venture outside at night, when everyone is supposed to be safe inside, to get a special sap to save their mother, things begin to change. They are told by a Nightling slave the truth of what is really happening between the Nightlings and humans. The leader of the human village, Genna and Dan's "uncle," has made a deal with the Nightling king that will result in his own immortality but the downfall of every other human.

Genna and Dan must strike their own deal with the Nightling king and set out on their own journey to not only save themselves and their family but everyone in their village -- as well as the Nightlings.

Filled with adventure and striking prose, THE RUBY KEY is one of the best fantasy novels I've read in a while. The characters, even the non-human ones, were realistic, and every single one of them played an important part in the unfolding plot. The plot itself was unpredictable and filled with twists and turns you never see coming. The ending even keeps you begging for more.

Holly Lisle may be an accomplished adult author, but her name is sure to become a popular one among teen fiction, too.

THE RUBY KEY ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just finished this book yesterday and it was the best when it comes to adventure and keeping your imagination running. I love all the twists in the story and Doyati sure is funny. I just can't wait for the next book. I hope all the the other people who have read this book enjoyed it.

The Ruby Key is wonderful!

Last night I finished The Ruby Key, the new book by Holly Lisle. What a great book, perfect for any young person -- or adult -- looking for a good fantasy. Genna's world is a place that I hope Holly Lisle will return to time after time. That world is divided into day and night, day ruled by humans, night by the nightlings. Genna and her brother Dan discover that their 'uncle' has made a horrendous deal with the lord of the nightlings: He has traded the lives of the people of their village for immortality. Genna and Dan make their own deal with the evil nightling lord and start off on an impossible quest to locate a child and return him to the nightlings. Along with them travel an annoying cat -- which is both more than and less than a cat -- and a young, bright nightling. But naturally things aren't what they seem. Genna soon learns that the world is different than she had always been told and that her quest has far-reaching consequences. There are monsters and moonroads (you'll have to read the book to discover what those are) and villains and heroes. You will be both surprised and pleased at how it all turns out. The Ruby Key truly reminds me of the best of Andre Norton. Genna has resources and bravery that she doesn't even know she does, and this book is the beginning of her journey. I'm looking forward to the next book. By the way, the book itself is gorgeous with a wonderful cover and neat flourishes throughout, a handsome addition to any library. Add it to your library today.
