Summary: Awesome, sleep-banishing book -- Where's the sequel?
Review: What a fabulous surprise this book was! With characters you really care for and come to love, this fairy tale is very funny, yet extremely scary. It's a fast-paced mix of action, horror, comedy and love story, and is done amazingly well. Effective writing and imagery allows you to "see" and "hear" the action. Cool.A great opening chapter ensures you'll keep on reading. The faithful but under-appreciated Prince Rupert is sent on a mission to slay a dragon and capture it's treasure hoard for the kingdom's treasury. Fighting danger along the way, Rupert comes across the Princess Julia (a very funny scene) from another kingdom. From this point on, you'll be hooked. Princess Julia is a riot. Tomboy-ish, feisty, brave, funny, irreverent, and sarcastic, you'll fall immediately in love with her, just like Rupert does. Also, Rupert's poignant relationship with his cowardly yet loyal unicorn is humorous and sometimes heart-wrenching. (I never knew a person had to be "qualified" to ride on a unicorn. Did you?) Funny thing: the unicorn's dialogue is tinged with a proper British articulation that caused me to hear actor Roddy McDowell's voice in my head whenever the unicorn spoke. Very effective writing. Dragons, magic swords, evil swords, a drunken warlock, demons, love triangles, a paradoxical castle (bigger on the inside than the outside), treacherous conspiracies, and a terrifying evil that threatens to consume the world, all combine to create a dazzling story which will transport you to another time and place. You'll be sorry when it all comes to an end and you're summoned back to earth. I've loaned this book to dozens of people. Every single person loved it and wanted to read the follow-up book. I've checked around for a sequel but, strangely enough, there isn't one. I guess either this book didn't sell enough copies to warrant one, or maybe Simon R. Green was too pre-occupied with his DeathStalker series and other books. The publisher may also not have realized what a gold mine they had on their hands here. Too bad. Follow-up books would have kept loyal readers happy, and their resulting word-of-mouth would have brought new readers to the series and, thus sold more books.

Summary: One great book. Definitely worth reading for all ages.
Review: What can I say about Blue Moon Rising that hasn't already been said? I first read it in the 3rd grade, and have loved it ever since. Incredible...it's one of those books that grows up with you, if you get my meaning. You read it every couple of years and it means something new every time. :)
