Fog Island Flowers is one of Tonya Moore’s first forays into the self-publishing world. It’s what I would call a true diamond in the rough. Full of errors an editor would have caught (improper use of paragraphs and many missed and misspelled words), this is a story I couldn’t help but read.
The first book in the Cassandra series, Fog Island Flowers introduces the girl-god Cassandra Baron. A story about her parents, the technologically derived Anel and her half-human mate Jonathan, Fog Island Flowers chronicles Jonathon Baron’s return to his ancestral home and the madness that follows. A study of how advanced alien races rise and fall as gods to the lesser beings with whom they interact, the book enthralls.
How shall I put this? I’m a fan of Tonya’s later works, especially Pandora’s Lament, yet had I not known her I would still have given Fog Island Flowers a complete read. Don’t get me wrong, I believe the author owes it to herself and her future readers to go back and have this book properly edited and rewritten (I’ve had to do this with my own first novel, Tonya). But I have to tell you, Fog Island Flowers is a marvelous story.
If you’re someone interested in new and talented authors, and you can get past some substantial flaws, give Fog Island Flowers a try.
