A few nephews and cousins of mine are obsessed with Minecraft and not too keen on reading. So I've been looking for fiction to see about bringing those two worlds together. Fortunately, hundreds of works of Minecraft-related fiction are available in the Kindle store. Unfortunately, the writing quality is generally atrocious. The author names are listed as vague conglomerates like "Minecraft Books" and "Best Minecraft Novels," so it's impossible to judge the quality of a prospective title based on your experience with a past one. So I've been taking advantage of my free trial of Kindle Unlimited to do some original research.
Legend of the Blood Moon popped out at me because it had a real person's name in the Author field. The writing quality in this particular title turned out to be head and shoulders above the rest. There were very few grammatical errors, the worst offenses being phrases like
"Inside was more symbols..."
"He let out a frustrated breath, and slammed the book closed."
Believe you me, this is National Book Award -winning prose compared with the snare of punctuation errors, dangling participles, and tense-switching fests that make up the usual Minefraft fare.
The variety of language was refreshing:
"They got to a small copse of trees..."
"He could see the soft flickering of torches and glowstone in the village..."
As with all Minecraft books I've come across, there are amateurish word choices and overexplanations:
"...the villagers looked at them with oddly disapproving looks."
"He leaned back against the rock wall and rubbed his temples. It was Sky's way of showing stress."
(Gee, really? Thanks for cluing me in. I thought it might be his way of showing romantic interest.)
But overall Blood Moon is the best of the pack, and readers in the intended age group won't have time to notice these minor problems as they adventure happily along.
