Beneath the Dragoneye Moons: Book 6
Romance is in the air!
Elaine is still far from home. Far from Remus. Her friends and family don't even know if she's alive.
However, not all is lost. Elaine has fallen in with some elves, who are willing to let Elaine tag along while they head in the general direction of her home. They're off hunting shimagu, deadly bodyjackers that steal away all autonomy.
Elaine finds a small measure of comfort in Serondes's arms, experimenting with her first relationship.
Experimenting with granting others Immortality.
As Elaine travels with the elves, she needs to wrestle with numerous questions. Is the relationship with Serondes going anywhere? What's in the egg that she's keeping safe and warm? Can the elves be trusted? What happened with the civil war in Remus? And should the shimagu be treated like people, or like parasites?

enough with the elves
This series really went to hell when the elves appear. 77% of all sentence praise elves for something or another. Total shit.

Immortal Moments, the sixth installment in the Beneath the Dragoneye Moons series, takes Elaine on another perilous journey. While the plot maintains momentum with engaging action and ethical quandaries surrounding the shimagu, the romantic subplot disappoints, feeling rushed and lacking depth.
Elaine's encounters with elves and her bond with Serondes offer potential, but their relationship development falls flat. The forced and hurried nature of their connection detracts from the authenticity of their love story. Regrettably, Elaine's growth also falters; despite her trials, she remains naively detached from the world's harsh realities.
The story's intriguing threads, like the Remus civil war and the enigmatic egg, remain underexplored, leaving loose ends in the narrative. Immortal Moments struggles to capture the emotional resonance of earlier installments, making it a shaky addition to the series.

The world building is getting worse.
The characters, the lack of a cohesive story, the meandering direction, all of it pales to the horrifically bad world building.

The vow Elaine made when she was only 8 is getting annoying hahah but it IS admirable. It’s annoying how badly it limits her from even protecting herself.
I hope she finds a way to go around her vow and soon!

This book gets 3 instead of 4 stars for several reasons. The elves thing was just terribly annoying. The poisoned alcohol thing was just face-palmingly tedious. Stack on a bunch of chapters for the "this should have just been a different book" interlude crap and the author does a marvelous job of catapulting you out of the narrative.

Dropping this series. Elaine is super annoying.

October 29, 2025Had to call it quits on this series. The huge philosophical chapters followed by the slightly cringy chapter on consent made me lose interest. Both those things are super important and I could see why Elaine was struggling with them, but I don’t want to read 30 minutes for each of her internal quandaries.

Good story, the sex ed chapters were pretty bad
This is a great series, and the world building in this book was interesting. The issue was the author decided it's finally time to "grow up" and so we meet some hot elves and have some fun. Several chapters are devoted to fantasy orgys, making out with the elves, and it's topped off with an entire chapter detailing what consent it, how to ask for consent, when consent can be revoked, and how to properly go about asking for consent in a "sexy" way. An. Entire. Chapter. Selfie has decided that the readers of a fantasy magic book need to be thoroughly instructed in how to ask for consent before sex...
This is the wrong medium to do this, it was very immersion breaking, and almost put me off the series, luckily after about 5 or 6 chapters of skimming she got off her soap box of how to have casual sex with elves and we moved on, but it hurt the book for me, I'm reading fantasy, not sex ed. (Honestly, if I was just having fun with elves, I'd get it. Soft porn elven fantasies aren't my thing, but at least it fits. It was the soap boxing for chapters that I'm complaining about)

I like this series but it's not a 4 it's a 3.5....
It is different it felt like filler. I hope the writer takes a bit longer and goes back on how she writes things/characters or at the very least takes longer for the book to come out this book is a small Gap for the book to continue in all said I did enjoy parts of the book especially when there was no romance involved with the elves maybe if the writer wants to have a romance The sentinel and Wolfie but I don't think there needs to be

Solid with Meh
Overall the book was decent. I'm only going to speak mostly of the highlights. Shimagu enemy. Elaine (some of the time). Mango's (all of the time). Remus return. No more elves (extremely happy about that).
Iona interlude is back. If she's a future major player, she should've had her own book after her introduction. This almost makes me not care after 6 books. Awesome kill she got though.

2 stars is probably a little low, but most of this series I have given 3 stars. Overall, I find it to be just an ok series and I will probably keep reading. I didn't like this book, though. Out of the 10 I have read, this is my least favorite. The main character made stupid decisions. The relationship in this book was awful and I hated reading about it.

The story is slowly losing me but this book has to be the worst one so far. It's basically sex then tough questions of her oath that then leads to a terrible situation. Lamenting said situation and have an exestential crisis over it then ooooh levels. The next chapter then jumps back into the crisis then just drops it. Super odd almost dropped it right there.

Everything after the war just kinda sucks.

Somehow this missed the mark for me even worse than the last book. I have no idea what happened between book 1-3 and... Whatever this was. It's like the author was switched for somebody else, or just wasn't in it anymore. Maybe it's just a matter of the original medium, a webnovel, where at some point it just becomes a matter of churning out chapters, and there's no way of removing them after the fact if they don't turn out well...
The introduction of the elves and the attempt at writing romance completely ruined this in my opinion. Probably calling it quits here, which I really hate... I wanted to give it another chance after not liking book 5 all that much, because I was really invested in the story. But the entire elf-arch totally spoiled it for me.
The relationship with elf pretty-boy no. 46 genuinely weirded me out. I found him kind of icky and hated every second I spent reading about him. I constantly wished he'd just die off screen and never appear again.
The story improved a ton after the elves finally disappeared (hopefully permanently), but it was just too little too late. My entire view of who the MC is, what she stands for and how she behaves was just... changed by the entire ordeal. She just doesn't make sense to me anymore. And for what? Half a book of complete filler that might as well have been cut out?

Elaine's journey with the elves on her way home to Remus continues. Relations are hard, especially when there is an immense power difference. Dealing with parasite oozes overtaking people is harder, mostly because the Oath and Elaine's ethics forces her to think on how to deal with what are sapient body snatchers who don't necessarily kill their host.
Volume 6 is much like the earlier volumes, a slice-of-life story about a powerful healer and radiant mage traveling through a very dangerous world. If you like the previous volumes you will enjoy this part as well. The lack of an overarching plot and the somewhat arbitrary nature of levelling are part of the course, but the author does manage to keep the challenges and threats believable. While I agree that the romance feels a bit grinchy for this type of story, and a lot of words are spend on exploring the nature of the Oath, it was not really all that bad for me. The Oath parts were necessary even if it probably could have been shorter.
All in all, I enjoyed the volume and I am glad she is now home and we get to learn what happened to her friends and family while she was gone.

a difficult read
Where the earlier books tended to be somewhat flippant, this dug deep into ethical concepts. A huge amount of consideration around her [Oath], and how different situations are impacted by her vow.
And of course she ends up in a situation where her understanding of her [Oath] is tested.
It was also difficult to get started. I know, having a long recap essentially pads the book, but I took a while to remember where the previous book had left things. I strongly recommend at least re-reading the ending of book 5 to get back in the groove. It’s been a minute.

OMG. I hate the interludes of Iona
If the next book wasn't already released I would be passed about the cliffhanger.
Honestly I just skimmed over the interludes. Stupid false trails about healers, rushed through her advancement, no depth and no relation to the main character.. fo multiple books.
100% feels like padding out the number of pages. Worst part is I have to skim multiple chapters on the off chance it does connect back somehow. Like a crappy short randomly inserted into a good book.

I'm a bit judgemental.
Honestly, Elaine lets all of her instincts go once she finds a group to travel with. She seemed more like a kid than I thought she did in previous books. I'm ambivalent to a lot of the actions in this, and I was sad to not see more of Elaine's future homecoming.
I'm still frustrated with Iona's additions. That part is just beyond confusing. The wording of some of the companion characters had me comparing them to shimago notifications, and makes me wonder if there's any correlation.

Oh Dear! There are numerous things wrong with this series, but they are usually at least balanced by the good things, unfortunately this book had very few. I said in my review of the last book “I could have happily done without the Elves.”
Nothing in this one has changed my opinion.
After the first half of the book I felt this was probably the worse one so far and had it been the first book in the series I would have given up there and then. The book does improve in the second half, but it was still just OK.

navel gazing
Like the detail and kitchen-sink nature of Pallos. From human lands to a bigger (much bigger) world, full of monsters and super powered mortals and Immortals.
A bunch of long, drawn out internal monologues and wrestling with her healer’s Vow.
Another long, drawn out slow burn romance and Define The Relationship talk with a self centered (elf-centered?) guy.
A few close calls with death and dismemberment. Also showing the edge that training gives to completely overpowered stats that Elves get.
An absolutely manic shopping trip.

This is likely the weakest book in regards to plot so far. Quite boring until they get the human settlement and that’s more than halfway through, elves aren’t so bad but they didn’t exactly bring much to the story except maybe give Elaine a look into a different culture. All the progression happens very very quickly and there isn’t much of it and then we’re back in Remus which is not the best place writhing wise.

Thinking of ending this series as there are soo many better ones. Felt like a horribly written romance book. Then an entire chapter on concent? I am all for concent, but this is supposed to be a LITRPG, not a college lecture. I was actually sad for the Arthur thinking what may have happened to her IRL to throw it in the book out of the blue (like Taylor swift or Eminem singing about an ex). I would give books 1 through 5, 4 or 5 stars....this one a 2 (and debating a 1).

And then a romance novel broke out.
I had to skip multiple chapters in this book, first all the elf stuff got old really fast. Then, how is there even a debate about what to do with a parasite that literally makes someone a prison in their own body. It's pretty cut and dry if you ask me.

Great
Elaine certainly went through a roller coaster of events in this book, pushing her to her absolute limit of her capabilities. Despite desperately needing a time of respite, she managed to overcome her obstacles again, and again, even his death was just moments away. If you have liked the previous books, this will definitely be another enjoyable read.

Most of the story’s ok. But some of it’s just ridiculous. She can regenerate all of her body instantly but has to go to a barber to regrow her hair. WTF!!! REALLY!! Also don’t like that the last 20% of the book is about Iona. I know she’s going to be in the books sooner or later but either bring her in or give her her own book.

I need more!!!
I don't know how I'm going to wait for more details. I need to know! The hatchling. I NEED TO KNOW!!!
As always exceptional work, we see massive personal growth both in numbers and in Elaine as a whole. Can't say too much more without spoiling but yes please!!!
