Loading... Beyond the Blue Moonby Simon R. Green
None.  bluetyson | Feb 26, 2009 |  Simon Green is an author I really enjoy, but I recommend not reading all his books at once. Green does what he does very well, but he seldom strays outside of those bounds. After a while, all his books start to sound the same...Which is not to say they aren't good, but it's easy to get too much of a good thing with Green. Beyond the Blue Moon is a great example of this - once again Green is tying up plots and themes of multiple works and having them all come together. This book is a nice ending to both the Blue Moon books and the Hawk and Fisher books, but there is little here that is new. I still recommmend Green and this book, just not all at one go. (  ) hjjugovic | Nov 23, 2008 | This sequel doens't live up to Blue Moon Rising - but then BMR is one of the best fantasy novels I have read so it would be difficult to be any where as good. This installment starts out in the familiar city of Haven and there other familiar characters from previous Green books. But the characters in Beyond don't seem to be fully developed and I don't quite get their motives. Despite some of these flaws I did enjoy the book - it just didn't live up to the original BLue Moon. But is does deliver closure to the series and I would still recommend those that are fans of the series to read it.

In Haven, the pair get a visitor who informs them that King Harald has been murdered, and the Queen would like Rupert and Julia to investigate. They aren't so keen as to take up the old identities, so go as Hawk and Fisher.
The usual nasty Forest Kingdom and Hillsdown antagonism still goes on, and some old ghosts still hover.
Green's style has changed a bit since he wrote Hawk and Fisher return to their roots.
