Beneath the Dragoneye Moons: Adventures in the Argo
Elaine has been field promoted to a full Ranger, while at the same time developing her new Celestial healing and Fire magic. Yet Kerberos, her fiancé who'll stop at nothing to get her back, casts a long shadow. Society as a whole would love nothing more than to grind her down, to remind her that she's a girl, and a second-class individual. Endless dinosaurs roam, looking for tasty, pint-sized teenager snacks. Finally, Perinthus is devastated by a deadly plague, killing hundreds every day.
Elaine must fight the plague with every point of mana she has, while getting used to the horrors of being a Fire mage, breaking free from Kerberos's grasp, and getting to the bottom of things.
If she's lucky, she might even find some delicious mangos.

November 25, 2022dnf at pg 133. I just can't with this series. All the characters piss me off, the writing makes me want to read a badly translated Chinese webnovel, the plot itself is an isekai I've seen at least 30 times in some variation, and it just hurts me to read it.
Most of the elements within the series probably would work better for me personally in a visual format. I'll try it again when the webcomic comes out but as a novel, I just cannot continue with this and be fair to the author.

Good but not great. Now that the luster of the new world and new system and new characters have worn off we're left with the unfortunate reality that the plotting and action are a little weak, the litrpg skills and levels are fairly meaningless, and our characters aren't really evolving all that much and are pretty emotionally flat.
Our MC has selected a second class that is entirely at odds with her main powers and seems sort of useless, "because fireballs and maybe flight." Along with her other childish behavior it's fairly annoying. I realize she's purposefully written as a child, but none of it really rings true. She was reincarnated and should seem older, the world she grew up in marries women off at 14, she's been out in the world for two years, etc...
I found the time jumps and serial-like nature of the chapters more annoying in this second installment than the first.
I strongly dislike the fact that we're bombarded with meaningless stat updates and poorly formatted stats in every single chapter.
Overall still enjoyable, and I'll read the next one, but it feels like it's going downhill.

This is a story that's walking a fine line between being very enjoyable and very annoying. That being said, I think this series is worth reading and one of the best portrayals of the "Healer" main character.
Only a few other gamelit/lite novel healer-focused stories come to my mind immediately: Azarinth Healer and Redo of a Healer. Both of these differ significantly from this story and from each other. Azarinth has a MC that's annoying in a similar way (being kind of an airhead who loves eating), but with less personality. And then Redo of a Healer...well, good luck to you if you read that one. Needless to say, it doesn't capture the typical Healer experience.
While I enjoyed the first two books of this series, I can also see how people might not like them. Granted a lot of the complaints sound like personal peeves, but I think even people who approach this series with an open mind will get frustrated with the poor decisions the characters make. It's one thing when our MC does it, because her ignorance and naivety (while frustrating) make sense. The bigger problem is when the other characters, namely the Rangers, make dumb decisions when they should know better.
At the end of the day, what this series does well can be summed up in one sentence: What a character can't do is more interesting than what they can do. It adds tension to scenes, conflict to character interactions, and direction to the story.
In a genre full of OP characters and healers who also end up being more powerful at fighting than most of the warriors, the fact that this story focuses on a more traditional healer with a double-edged skill makes it feel pretty unique and keeps me coming back for more.

This is a combined review for the first two books of Beneath the Dragoneye Moons. The books are worth the read and I don’t worry about spoilers so read this review at your own risk. The “worth the read” verdict was a close call for me and I focus on the negatives in my reviews so, if you are on the fence, I recommend not reading this review as it may ruin the books for you. Also, there are currently four books in this series and I have already determined I will read book 3 (I just wanted to get down my review before it got even more muddled by further reading).
This is a weird story to rate. To me it looked like a talented new author in need of a good editor. For example, the author repeats things that do not need repeating, not often but enough so that it is noticeable. And the repeated things are forgettable as I am writing the morning after finishing book 2 and I already can’t recall what was repeated.
Also the story focus of living with being a second class citizen and living a life based on a vow made when eight is bizarre. The MC is female in a world based on ancient Rome where women aren’t citizens, can’t own property and have no say in who they marry. When was the last time you read a story where the MC basically says “I’m a second class citizen and that is wrong. Oh well, time to head out and become a super powerful magician.” This is particularly bizarre in a world with stats so a woman can easily be as strong and as good a warrior as a man if they so choose.
The author also undermines her MC. (Note: I don’t know the author’s gender so I’m just guessing here.) The MC, as a reborn person from earth, should have been aware that there would be other cultures where women aren’t second class citizens. Does the MC (Elaine) ask a single question about this? No. In fact Elaine, who constantly bemoans the lack of books in her new world, breaks into a library as a part of teaching herself to read. But what does Elaine read? We are never told and frankly I can’t imagine what it was since Elaine is completely clueless about the larger world she lives in as the story progresses.
So Elaine, reborn from a world without mythical monsters, is the daughter of a city guard and a healer in a relatively safe city. So Elaine is coddled in what is otherwise a kill or be killed world. Children in this world get access to leveling at age 8 and so there is a push to expose children to as many different skills as possible before their eighth birthday. As a result Elaine helps her mom heal Elaine’s best friend, Lyra. Lyra gets an infection and dies. Elaine had many of her memories taken from her as a condition of her rebirth but she retains a lot of biology and so blames herself for Lyra’s death. As a result Elaine makes an oath similar to the Hippocratic Oath which the leveling system then enforces. Elaine could abandon the oath but doesn’t even when she is given repeated experiences where she is disadvantaged because of the oath. As the story progresses this makes more sense as the cost of abandonment goes up but the author just ignores (1) an adult reborn as a child should have been able to better foresee the problems with such an oath in a violence riddled world and (2) eight year olds make life long commitments about every 20 minutes or so. Granted the death of a best friend mitigates that second point but the take away is the author didn’t so much develop a character as relate a series of thoughts and actions. I admit that is highly subjective and so hopefully your experience will differ from my own.
The author provides no story resolution for book 1. The MC, having been told by her parents she must marry, runs away from home at age 14. She joins a friend of the family, Artemis, who is one of the few female Rangers. Rangers are elite high level soldiers akin to Special Forces who ride two year circuits around the country solving problems too big for the locals. Elaine, initially just a tag-a-long, demonstrates incredible bravery and healing prowess and so is initiated into the Rangers and levels up. The end. Not a single story line resolved. At least book 2 ends with the completion of the Rangers’ circuit so it at least felt somewhat justified as an ending point. Basically your take away should be: Don’t bother reading book 1 unless you are prepared to read book 2 as well.
However, the end of book 2 does something pretty bad: It appears to switch main characters. Book 2 ends with the story of an eight year old girl who is a Lyra equivalent except she lives in a Nordic community and survives where her best friend, an Elaine equivalent dies. That’s it, the end. What is the point of that non-sequitur story? There doesn’t appear to be one except that the author is insecure about her writing bring readers back so she is trying to create a hook of some kind.
Finally, the author seems to be unable to think consistently about her characters and the world sh has created. I really only have one example of this but it is so bad I feel I must mention it. At the end of book 2 Elaine is visited by her parents and amidst the happy reunion she is told they adopted a boy. It is never explained why the parents didn’t bring the young boy with them which seemed bizarre but what was truly mind boggling is that about an hour later Elaine and her mom are discussing how screwed they will be in their men only country when the dad dies. THE SON IS NEVER MENTIONED and apparently has already been forgotten by everyone.
So, bottom line: I was able to enjoy the books but I had to overlook some stuff to do so.

Series is at its best when the sexism isn’t prevalent.
Much better than the first, but that is likely due to a decrease in mentions of the worlds constant discrimination and oppression of half its population. There is a tiny mention of how this came to be but it didn’t do nearly enough to persuade me something like this could exist in a system based setting.
This included more of what I liked from the first, with the Rangers patrolling around the continent and Elaine growing alongside them.

This book was another fun adventure with Elaine and company. She's really grown as an individual and in her class. You can kind of tell this started as a web serial. There are several distinct plots that occur throughout the book, but unlike some, there is an overarching plot to tie everything together. Oh, and her continued obsession with mangoes is still entertaining. I wasn't a fan of the constant stat blocks at the end of practically every chapter. I honestly ended up skipping/skimming over them every time. If people aren't going to bother reading it, if it doesn't forward the plot in some way, what's the point in writing it?
It was a unique take to have the events going on occur over such a long period of time. So often we see LitRPG MCs having back-to-back adventures and leveling quickly over a short period of time. With books taking place over years at a time I feel much more confident that Elaine will be an appropriate age when the romance begins. It's nice that her periods of growth make sense for how and when they happen and there are still periods of stagnation. She doesn't just continuously grow at outrageous rates.
It's also nice to see fire as a weaker magic compared to things like earth magic. So many times we jump to fire being the most popular, fastest, most explosive offensive magic. This story takes into account that not only does fire not kill quickly or cleanly, but in order to make fire hot enough so that it could potentially do that takes a lot of effort. I'm not sure her dream of casting fireball as a spell is a good reason to take a class, but she's also really still a child, and children often don't think things all the way through.

Better than the first!
To start, let me say this was a good book and a truly masterful series. I just finished reading books 1-9. I had read the first book back when it came out on this format… And it was ok. I had some issues with it. Mainly, I admit, the immaturity of a main character who was, as the time(s) 8 and 14. Let’s be fair, some kids of that age probably are immature! I also have strong issues with mind control and freedoms… specifically such that the Oath, a core component of the entire story, hurts me deeply. Book two wasn’t released at that time, and when it came out my issues made me not pick the story back up. A lull in good books came about for me, I saw book 9 hit (I am always a bit impressed when someone can maintain a long story!) and I remembered the first as “Meh - good enough”, so I tried again from the start.
Note: I eventually pretended that these Oath skills could be dropped if the oathbound really chooses to. Why not? The MC would never make that choice, other skills can be dropped, and it nearly completely removes, for me, the “ick” factor that stains an otherwise great story. With that possibility it is still and always fundamentally remains a choice, a freedom.
Anyhow - this book. Good. Better than the first. The MC grows and matures and changes believably in each book. Just a remarkably well done series. If you, too, read book one and thought “Meh - I dunno. Good enough but…” I say go on, keep reading. It gets better and better. So far I was moved the most by books 7 and 9!

4.75 ⭐️
I’m giving this 4.75 because I really enjoyed reading it but there have been inconsistencies in the skill levels between leveling up and the overview at the end. The inconsistencies were only a point or two and only effected 1-3 skills but persisted which means overall they were behind where they should have been.
The story overall is very entertaining and keeps me engaged (except when I notice the inconsistencies). I really enjoy the characters but I’m not a huge fan of characters we’ve come to know and love dying lol. The action and intrigue in the story is satisfying and we see a combination of struggle and ease of accomplishment due to skills. The skill system seems pretty standard and I appreciate how, as the story progresses, we don’t see every instance of an upgrade but usually first and last at this point. Overall, definitely recommend reading the series so far.

Okay, OK Silkie Myth has won me over. It may have taken a plague to do it but I love Elaine. I've seen several reviews berating Elaine for making dumb decisions. But, they're wrong, I say she's young and still learning as she skills-up in power and learns more about the system. At least she's not one for displaying teen angst, she got over with that in her first life taking both good and bad in stride. As she fights/heals her way across the countryside with her comrades in arms.
I love farreting out quotes that amuse me, here's just one of those...
"She came back and found me being silly playing with fire I'd made a fancy stage and had little flame actors running around trying to mimic Romeo and Juliette."

This wasn’t a bad story, but I think some of the novelty of the first book has worn off and I didn’t enjoy it quite as much. Also, like many LitRPG novels, the author manipulates what levels and skills actually mean to fit a particular moment in the story, even if this contradicts what has happened earlier in the books.
Finally there is the last chapter, which seems to parallel the beginning of the Elaine and Lyra story, but with Iona and Lux. However, with no explanation why it is here. Was it a mistake, did the author just forget it was there?
This was a very annoying end to the book and is why I initially reduced the three stars I was going to give to two. After thinking about it I have changed this back to three.

What a happy find! I only discovered (through The Wandering Inn fans) the novels of Selkie Myth a week ago, and found I already owned two in Audible I must have acquired in a big sale event. I will buy more when my annual credits appear in two days. I find these stories compelling, pure escapism, and a story I don't drift away from when listening. I do not share any of the complaints I read from others. The tension from wanting to overcome the sexist, patriarchal world, the stat blocks, the poor decisions, all of them add to my immersion. A fine read! The author's talents impress me, as do the narrator's. Warmly recommended. Keep an open mind and simply wallow in the pleasure of escaping our world and entering another.

This is a pretty good book. The author is pretty good with characters, and there's a lot of tension because the main character is a girl in a man's world.
There are a few problems though.
The author needs to review some basic writing grammar. It is not ("Hello." He said.) It never has been and never will be.
The most interesting part of the book was the plague but that all got wrapped up super fast like the author got bored.
There is a chapter at the end of the book about another character that adds nothing to the story and seems disconnected.
It's not clear how the parents teleport to the capital from their village when the world outside of any village is ridiculously dangerous.

More leveling and grind...
This is a decent series and I enjoyed this book. I am however slowly getting tired of the limitations of the oath and the complications that it creates. I understand the author is creating a unique character here.That said occasionally I want the character to be able to defend itself and break bad. Maybe that's for The next book. That said he It's well written and a lot of fun. this book ties up a few loose ends in obviously creates more. I'll probably be reading the next book but I'll have to get a taste of action elsewhere 1st.

A solid step up over the first book. The writing is much improved. About half the book is dedicated to solving a healer-specific task, that the rest of the team isn't well suited for. This is a great direction to take the plot. The rest of the team still find ways to be useful, it doesn't become the Elaine show by any means.
I don't have too much to say really. More of the last book, but better! Character and world building are still great. The pacing could be a little better. Overall, this is on it's way to becoming one of my favorite series.

This series remains great. The system is engaging, the world grounded but fantastical, the characters realistic and fun. The only thing I would say it lacks is twists within twists. But this is an adventure book with elements of mystery so lacking convoluted misdirection is probably for the best. If you like book 1 it's much the same with more exploration of the world.
Small not relevant spoiler ahead. Ending the book on an interlude that expanded concepts of the system was a great way to create the disconnect. Unlike with book 1 I was very satisfied with this ending.

3.5
Unfortunately my complaint from the last book rolled over to this one. It seems like the main character (now 16) still acts acts like someone much younger than her age and hasn't matured much if at all, In fact, because she's reincarnated I wish she would act a little bit older than she is.
Beyond that I'm still enjoying the power leveling, but the adventures in this book felt a lot more A-B-C. So hopefully in the next book will get less air headed naïveté from the main character and get to enjoy reading her trials at the Rangers Academy.

Lovely book!
This second book of the series is great. It continues the MC's journey toward what we consider adulthood. The other rangers look out for her but in most ways she is treated as another Ranger. It's kinda cool to see her acting all adult like then have her revert to kid. That plus the cart mangoes had me chuckling. On to the next book! I can't wait! Only negative is that the stats pop up in some weird places.

I got about 20% of the way through this book and almost put it down for good. The MC is 14 years old then but with the knowledge of most of her 20 years on earth. And she’s still a fn moron. Was she that stupid on earth. I did finish the book and she still hasn’t grown up that much. 2 years as a ranger and she’s still not all that bright. The final chapter brings in Iona hopefully she’ll be a bit smarter. It’s the only reason I’m getting the n

same juicy goodness
I do want to say, this was very stat heavy. Much more so than the first book. To the point where a full character sheet rundown was happening at the end of each chapter. It was excessive, but I understand how this was written as a serial and the frequent updates may be desired by some.
Going to buy the next book now.

More of the good stuff. The MC Elaine is getting older and travels around with the group of rangers.
A lot of small adventures, some bigger ones and a lot of stats and skills.
As before the best is the group dynamic.
Really nice litRPG. Good to see a supporting character like a healer in main role.

This book expanded more on some of the characters while giving some nice side chapters with a different perspective. Overall the story was good along with the main problem that is encountered in this book. It is interesting to see the world slowly rolled out to you instead of being front and center.

An Amazing Book
This is by far one of the best books I have ever read. It perfectly mixes litrpg, reincarnation, coming of age, into a story of love loss determination and consequenses.

Liked it
Fast paced page turner with interesting characters that you can instantly root for. I will definitely be getting more books by this Author and can't wait for another book in this series

The problems Elaine and the Rangers faced was HUGE! She destroyed a plague and they found the person responsible, but because the bard was offended Elaine wasn't given the proper accolade for what she accomplished. COLD!
Onto the next book!

Great
This was undoubtedly, a really great and entertaining read, even better than the first book since the action could really start rolling in. I would have to say that if you enjoyed the first book, you should definitely enjoy this one and give it a try.

Enjoyable read. I appreciate the fact that the main character isn't the most powerful in every aspect. I was pleased with her team, but less happy that it was just temporary. I am interested enough to read on, but could easily take a break.

Overall pretty good. I feel like the pacing is a bit off and the tone is also just all over the place. There are many serious topics and then we go on a pretty long rant about mangos. Also the stat screens appear way more often then needed. Otherwise nice ideas and overall a good book.
