Question of the Week: Favorite Book?
It’s time for Question of the Week, which is intended to inspire enjoyable discussions of interesting topics!
This week’s question – what is your favorite Jonathan Moeller book?
The reason for this question is that I’m going to record my 250th podcast episode this week, so it seems like a good topic for the milestone.
For my own answer, the question is a bit difficult because I’ve written them all, which meant I thought all of them were a good idea at the time. I suppose the glib answer would be the one that made me the most money (FROSTBORN: THE IRON TOWER), but it really depends on the category. Like, my favorite heist book? My favorite dungeon crawl? My favorite first in series?
So I think I will split it up by male and female protagonists.
My favorite book of mine with a female protagonist would probably be CLOAK GAMES: REBEL FIST, since it’s such a turning point for Nadia and starts the trajectory of the rest of her character arc. It’s the first time she really has to save the day instead of just trying to save herself, and it shows that her brother Russell can also handle himself, which comes up again later.
My favorite book of mine with a male protagonist would probable be DRAGONTIARNA: DEFENDERS, since it has the battle of Shadow Crown Hill, which was one of my favorite sequences to write. Four different characters have plans, and they all crash into each other at the same time. It was fun to write and set up. 🙂

You are kidding us! By the end of the week? How long did you think about your own answer?
Let me mirror you: for my own answer, the question is a bit difficult because I spend money on all your books, which meant I thought all of them a good buy.
So let me split my answer into male and female protagonist as well:
The best female book was Ghost Exile Omnibus One, because it prompted me to continue with Ghost Exile and fill in the Ghost series later. (Ghost Omnibus One and Ghost Exile Omnibus One were my first two books from you.)
The best male book was the one with Jack March, where Thunderbolt said: “Males are oggeling at breasts, which never existed”, especially as such AI generated videos are now all over the place in YouTube. 🙂
LOL, I didn’t think of it that way. I have to admit I came up with the character of Thunderbolt in 2021, so I suppose she preceded a lot of the AI mania of recent years.
That is a tough question as there are many contenders. I am going to go with one that is a little different… a Sevenfold Sword Online Creation, I guess later known as Stealth and Spells Creation.
I nominate Soul of Swords. An excellent end to an excellent series.
There can only be one!!!

For me I think my favourite female protagonist book is Cloak Games: Truth Chain. Such a dramatic change to Nadia, sets up the series and her struggles with self and enemies so well
Ghost in the Throne – my favorite series is Ghost Exile, and Caina is a definite favorite main character.
