Archer’s Moon: Dawn of Legends by J.W. Webb is a
wide-angled prequel to the fantastic universe of Legends of Ansu, delving into
the creation of its mythical environment many years before the main story
begins. The tale of the young goddess Argonwui “Aggy” and her relationship with
the mortal Eltayn Elafan, a young hunter who finds himself embroiled in divine
schemes, ancient rivalries, and cosmic forces. As Aggy yearns to be free and
have an adventure in the mortal world, she struggles to understand her divine
blood. She is constantly thwarted by the treacherous games of her family,
particularly her mother, the Emerald Queen Elanion, and her unknown father. But
at the same time, Eltayn moves from an ignorant boy in a village to a major
player in an impending war against evil forces, and the lengthening shadow of
gods, dark sorcerers, and cosmic foes. Their encounters, discoveries, betrayals,
and rebellions create threads of an impending epic battle.
Webb’s characters are boldly sketched, and I enjoyed Aggy’s mischievous
inquisitiveness and godly hubris as well as Eltayn’s strengths and humanity. I
was fascinated by the setting, with landscapes that shift between lush,
reverent realms of tree boughs and vast expanse—a natural world of Ansu in
forest and ocean, and the gritty, political city-states like Zorne with
specifics that recall a multiplicity of cultural currents and ancient
mythologies. The conflict is one of divine vs mortal tension, with dark gods
such as Nemrod and even more ancient entities ready to start a new war for
freedom! Meanwhile, characters fight to define themselves in a universe of
changing allegiances and cosmic destinies. Webb skillfully crafts a tale of
epic proportions that explores the nature of heroism, divine intervention, and
the eternal conflict between order and chaos. Archer’s Moon has crisp
and exquisite prose, terrific descriptions, and larger-than-life characters
that are as solidly strong as they are elaborately explored.
