Title: As Falls the Midnight Moon

Genre: fantasy (any sub-genre)

As Falls the Midnight Moon by Jodie Akres

In the secret-filled city of Verram, knowledge is power. Restia, the unassuming caretaker of the city's archives, knows this better than anyone, so when a thief gets away with a secret that could bring down an empire, Restia takes to the dark and winding city streets to track him down. Her journey entangles her with ruffians, gamblers, smugglers, and some of the most powerful men in the city, but she will do whatever it takes to track down the document before the moon sets.

#imaginary books recs #answered asks #firefletch #i've summarized this one badly i'm sorry #how can one capture the atmosphere without giving away all the secrets?#such a lovely twisty political intrigue plot #a touch darker than i usually go for but not too dark so it was a fun read #one of the few modern traditionally-published fantasies i've actually enjoyed #didn't know they made them like this anymore #(out of character apologies)#(this has been here a ridiculously long time)#(was one of the favorite titles i received)#(but i couldn't settle on a premise that lived up to it)#(i finally made this moodboard months ago but it remained vibes instead of plot)#(but now i got back into an imaginary book recs mood and decided i just have to go for it)#(i wanted to add more specific details and characters)#(but this is all i got for now)#(sort of an imaginary book rec of an imaginary book rec)
