The story had appeal for the action lovers with engaging fight scenes that were suspenseful and nail-biting until the last punch was thrown. As the story continues they, and the reader, begin to understand the meaning behind this pain. Adele and Tristan struggle to understand the cause of this pain.

The romance itself was intriguing as it started with them being in pain every time they saw each other. Moon Dwellers features the starred crossed romance between Adele and Tristan that is sure to keep the romantics sated. I loved how this story was made to appeal to a wide range of readers. The storyline moves along quickly, with Estes explaining his Tri-Realm world right from the beginning so that the reader is up to speed with all the terminology. It is the first time me meet our main protagonist, Adele, and learn of the inequality in this dystopian world. It opens with a family brutally and unjustly ripped apart.

Moon Dwellers was action packed, suspenseful and breathtaking right from the first page. Tristan’s official visit to the Moon Realm is the catalyst in his decision to act on his desires to assist the other Realms, and it is the first time he sees and connects with Adele. His opening chapters explore his life in the President’s home, his desire to break free from the wealth and opulence of his society and his desire to assist the other Realms in creating a more democratic society. He is the President’s son and resides in the Sun Realm. Tristan is the other main protagonist of the novel. Her parents are thrown into separate prisons, her sister into an orphanage and Adele into a juvenile detention centre. Following the Enforcers raid the family is separated. Adele and her younger sister are both still students at school. Her parents are hard-working middle class people. Adele’s family are Moon Dwellers, from the Moon Realm. The story opens with Adele fighting off Enforcers, the President’s henchmen, in her home as her family is attacked. All the Realms are ruled by one President, who although is supposed to be guiding a democratic society, is instead acting more like a dictator.Īdele and Tristan are the main protagonists in the novel. The Tri-realms consist of three levels, the Sun Realm where the wealthiest live, the Moon Realm where the middle class live and the Star Realm where the underprivileged live. The people were forced to move underground, and so the Tri-realms were created. Hundreds of years earlier a meteor hit Earth, killing millions of people and making its surface unliveable. It centres on a dystopian world, in which all of humanity has been forced to move below the Earth’s surface. Moon Dwellers is the first book in the Dwellers Series by David Estes. ***Thanks to the publisher for providing a review copy*** Publication: Createspace Independent Publishing
