So I'm one of those readers that loves both your Luna and Daw books. (I do, however, have a much harder time reading the Sundered books, so there are all types here, I guess.) I first you through The Broken Crown, which had a beautiful cover that leapt off the bookshelf. All pale blue -- it really stood out. But before I started reading it, I discovered there were the Hunters books so I went out again, bought those, and read them first. When I heard you were writing the Luna books, it made sense for me to put Cast in Shadow on my autobuy list since I liked your Daw books so much. Looking back, I guess there was danger in that if I had expected a certain type of book from you but I guess I'm not that type of reader.
What I'm trying to say is: While I do think Kaylin's books are more focused and parsed down whereas the DAW books are larger in scope and density, I actually don't think they're all that different in tone and theme. Actually I feel like there are similar themes running throughout both sets of books. And though I'd never thought of labelling myself as such, I guess certain uberthemes linger with me as a reader and I like finding them again in an author's work. (I enjoy reading all sorts of books but some don't have very strong uberthemes, if they have them at all, and I'll admit those books tend to slip out of my memory very quickly.)
