Lunora and the Monster King H S Crow Stephen William Lybeck Sierra Ashe Rottman Gabriella Juliet Garcias Books

This was such a different book than I am used to reading. Gifted to me by the author to read in exchange for a review. My heart sank when I saw that it was a script (no one said anything about a play! Dangit) but I read on because I said that I would. 
What I found there in that "play" was far more than just a play. What was there reached out and grabbed ahold of me and pulled me in from the very beginning, no matter what the format was, but it wasn't all dialogue.. I do have to admit that while I am typically such a proud owner and reader of my Kindle, I for the first time wished that I had the actual book in my hand rather than the screen one. To be able to see the illustrations and the words on the page in this instance would have been extraordinary. I feel like maybe I would have felt like what Bastian felt when he was reading The Neverending Story up in the school attic.
Lunora made a strong protagonist, one that was easy to connect to ( I would think if you were a girl or a boy) and someone that even an adult could look up to and take notes from when it comes to intense interactions with others.  She is the victim of a terrible attack and wakes up in a world that is filled with monsters. The first character that you meet is Mother Leaf, someone that I pictured to be like that talking knot in the tree from Fern Gully. Many other characters come into play in the story and each is as interesting and beautiful as the last. Her journey from scared child to the end was heartbreaking and delightful.
The ending!! I don't want to spoil it for anyone but the ending oh!! Well done Well DONE!! I am not so usually surprised by a book but I was with this one! It was gripping and extravagant but simple in the way that it was told and it was an amazing combination when telling this story: It was unlike any book I've ever read. What a supremely awesome message this book will spread.
The comparisons between her world and ours are obvious and undeniable real. The monsters judge Lunora purely on the act of the vicious and horrible humans that came before her instead of on her own accord. It makes you feel so many things, sad, scared, encouraged, mad and completely thrilled with what you just read.
This book makes you think twice about what your children might be thinking about racism or terrorism or how they view other adults. This would be a great story to share with your kids, your neighbors, your peers and quite possibly even strangers that your randomly meet. I encourage readers of all ages to engage with these characters.

Lunora and the Monster King H S Crow Stephen William Lybeck Sierra Ashe Rottman Gabriella Juliet Garcias Books Reviews

This is not my normal type of book but it was a good story. I wasn't expecting the play format but once I got past that the story pulled me in. Good characters and a well written story. I enjoy this read very much.
This book ripped my heart in half but also made it glow! Its a magical story, I loved it! And would recommend it to anybody!
Lunora and the monster King was a fabtastic read. I personally enjoyed the way it was written and as an aspiring author, it inspires me. Also live the world that was created! Great read !!!
Lunora and the Monster King is a lovely novel of fantasy and mystique. This interesting little tale revolves around the life of a young girl faced with some major challenges. Throughout we are brought through multiple struggles she must face to win the ultimate fight!

As eye-catching as it's cover, the entire first chapter pulls you in to a world beyond the norm, and sends you sailing into one that is sure to keep you turning the pages for more! Absolute recommendation! Very well-written and entertaining to the max.
A beautiful and magical story that captivated me for hours! H.S. Crow has an incredible and imaginary mind. I typically read non-fiction and wanted to expand my reading experience by reading a fantasy novel. I was pleased I did; as Lunora and the Monster King provoked thoughts and feelings about the world, its people and behaviors in a realistic way - even though I was reading fiction. I enjoyed this book so much so, that I am curious about this genre altogether now. Great job!
This book is just amazing from both an educational perspective as well as just from a love of reading perspective!

I was hooked from the beginning and could not put the book down. While at times you want to know more about the specifics of the troubles that were left behind, by the end it is clear that the purpose is the lessons learned from those troubles, rather than the specific.

The playscript form allows for descriptive stage direction, and points you toward action that might have gone unnoticed in paragraph form.
While the plot is quite unique, while reading it I was reminded of the Wizard of Oz and how the main character goes on a journey to learn about herself, and meet her own helpers along the way.
This entire story is one of fighting against prejudice and a true commitment toward kindness and helping others. While reading the book, you are transported into this world, with little detail about the location and little prior knowledge you immediately gain the satisfaction of developing your own knowledge along with the main character's knowledge. You know exactly what she knows, and it allows for a deeper appreciation of the novel's events.
It is not all dialogue, and the monologues of the script invite the reader to truly think and explore the issues at hand. It is a truly a brilliant book.
Well done and Mazal Tov on the publishing of your first book.
I just finished reading Lunora and the Monster King and wanted to take a few minutes to write up a review. First, I really liked the world the author created. His characters are incredibly detailed and the way he visually describes each scene was excellent. The plot was easy to follow and kept you engaged throughout. This is the first book I’ve read in this genre and from this author but I enjoyed it. It reads like an allegory talking about real world issues that are tough and difficult with no easy answers, but it causes you to pause and think about it from a different perspective.

I hope the author continues to write and creates additional books in this same vain. C.S. Lewis was one of the masters in the creation of allegories, I think H.S. Crow could develop into that kind of a writer.
