The book Moon & Shadow by J Steven Lamperti tells the story of Sebastian and his quest as the Knight of Moon & Shadow to protect his town of Westhavenbrook from a monster made of nightmares that have destroyed the village next door.
The book is told in the third person close. It switches between Sebastian and the various other members of the village. I enjoyed this because it has been a while since I have read a book where the point of view of an entire group played a significant role in the story. I found myself confused at first because it took me a little while to get used to the folktale style of tbs book. However, I quickly became intrigued by both sides of the tale.

Good Points
Overall, This book was different from anything I've read in a while. It was more like a folktale which was refreshing.
