The Ballad of Falling Dragons: A Novel by Sarah A. Parker
4.6/5
The Ballad of Falling Dragons is the second book in Sarah A. Parker's Moonfall series and the sequel to the New York Times bestselling When the Moon Hatched. Published by Avon in May 2026, it continues the story of assassin Raeve — revealed at the close of the first book to be the reincarnated Elluin Neván — and Kaan Vaegor, as they navigate a brewing civil war, a ruthless Scavenger King, and a love that has persisted across lifetimes. One source describes it as "bigger, louder, sadder, and more confident than its predecessor" — though also a touch messier in places. This review covers the book's content, structure, and published reception; it does not reflect hands-on reading or use.

When The Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker
4.4/5
When the Moon Hatched is a New York Times bestselling new adult romantasy and the first book in Sarah A. Parker's Moonfall series — a richly imagined world where the calcified bodies of deceased dragons become the moons overhead, and where those moons occasionally crash back to earth in a catastrophic event known as a moonfall. The German-language hardcover edition was published by Penguin Verlag in July 2024, bringing Parker's debut to German-speaking readers under the Moonfall-Serie banner. The novel follows Raeve, an assassin fighting for the Fíur du Ath rebels against the tyranny of The Fade, and Kaan Vaegor, a grief-stricken ruler on a relentless search for a moonshard, whose path leads him to a notorious prison — and to a discovery that reshapes everything he believes. The book has earned significant acclaim for its world-building and emotional depth, though some readers find its pacing deliberately slow.
