Moondust screen capture

For as long as anyone can remember, there have been stories.  Stories of fairies and dragons and witches and magic.  For thousands of years they were given the respect and awe they deserved, until recently.  With fairies pictured as harmless little sprites who sleep in lanterns, mythical creatures nothing more than lies told to children to keep them in their beds at night.  The power of magic is not waning, but with only a few still believing in them, life is harder, they hide, waiting for their time to come again.

Meanwhile, out of hiding, in the “real” world, the exiles of Faerie remain.  Some have joined up with Witches, perhaps even without telling them there was a faery in their midsts.  Many of them tire of hiding, and without knowing it, are working towards bringing magic back to the forefront—science to be left behind, where they believe it belongs.

Moondust focuses around Raina Tibbits, an exiled sidhe with more than a few reasons to want to be left alone.  Little does she know that the one thing she can’t be is left alone—for the good of the sidhe and mortals alike.

The story has an interesting premise: Elves exiled to Australia and setting up shop there. Only problem is that the execution is not up to the premise and there has already been a problem with the updates. A two-month hiatus happened between the third and fourth chapter. There are only five chapters so far.

I really wanted to like Moondust based on the description:  fairies, magic, and dragons, oh my.  Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to enjoy Moondust, and found it rather difficult to read because of the consistently bad grammar. 

Even if I ignored the bad grammar, I had a difficult time becoming interested in [more . . .]
