Faith and Moonlight by Mark Gelineau5/19/2023 It’s a shock to find that Faith is as glorious and seemingly pure as Elinor’s romantic attachment to the legends suggest it should be. Reading it last is an interesting authorial choice (and I’m sure it’s deliberate), because we come to it knowing what happened to Roan and Kay’s friends – and with preconceived ideas about the Razors. They have only the faintest ideas what that means.Ĭhronologically, Faith and Moonlight comes first. The four took Roan under their wing, and he and Kay are inseparable. He’s determined to repay his friends for ‘rescuing’ him by ensuring Kay finds a safe haven now their home has been destroyed. They have letters of introduction to Faith, a Razor school, in the hope that they will be taken in. Gentle Kay lived in the orphanage all her life, growing up with Elinor, Alys, and young Ferran. With the final thread of Faith and Moonlight, we’re woven back into the beginning of the story of the Echoes of the Ascended: Roan and Kay are the final puzzles pieces, teenagers travelling to Resa after the orphanage burnt to the ground. Everything Mark Gelineau & Joe King have learnt about serial publishing comes together here in a highly successful instalment. Faith and Moonlight is the last of the 4 strands, where teenage orphans Roan and Kay fight to claim their place within an elite Razor school. It’s Echoes of the Ascended day again today in Bite-sized Books.
