I must start off by saying I selected this book because it was compared to Daughter of the Moon Goddess. It is not. This book is nothing like Moon Goddess in any aspect and am a bit annoyed it was compared to such.

Bitter Medicine is a very whimsical cozy fantasy full of lore and fast-paced scenes that will keep the reader intrigued. Tsai has a lovely writing style. She is light and carefree with her words.

Personally, I am not a fan of cozy fantasy and was not as enthralled as I had hoped. (Again I was going in with the mindset that it would be as captivating as Moon Goddess and to be honest, was sorely disappointed.) Though, for me, the characters did not leap off the page. All of that, I do think it is a very easy read and there is not so much fantasy that will leave anyone confused.
