About this listen

Dragons once led our people across the wastelands, away from storms, and toward hunting grounds. That’s what the elders say, but 11-year-old Akrist has squinted at empty skies his whole life. The dragons have abandoned them, and it’s Akrist’s fault. He’s cursed. Like every other firstborn son, he has inherited the sins of his ancestors. In his camp, he’s the only eldest boy left. Something happened to the others. Something terrible.

When Akrist befriends Tanar, the eldest boy from another tribe, he discovers the awful truth: they’re being raised as sacrifices to appease the goddess and win back her dragons. The ritual happens when the dual moons eclipse. Escape is the only option, but Akrist was never taught to hunt or survive the wastelands alone. Time is running out, and he has to do something before the moons touch.

For someone like myself who doesn't read a lot of fantasy, I have to say UNDER THE LESSER MOON by Shelly Campbell was a pleasant surprise. My commute to and from work has been really quite enjoyable this past week. Ryan Haugen, the narrator, gives a stellar performance here. Had me immersed the whole time.
From the characters to the world building, the highs and lows throughout, everything felt like a genuine labour of love. I even said that to myself a few times in the car.
Shelly Campbell is a great writer.
I really need to check out her other work soon. Part 2 is already out there. I also need to read GULF as well. Heard great things about that.

Anyway, UTLM gets a deserving 5 stars.

Loved it

First off kudos to the narrator. They can make or break a story and the narration was great. The world building was rich and I honestly was caught by surprise at some the twists in the story. I will be downloading part two ASAP.

Great world building and characters
