I would like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read and honestly review an advanced reader’s copy of this book.

It’s been a long time since I read the Daughter of the Moon Goddess and it’s sequel, but thankfully this book set in the same world still made sense to me. This book follows Liyen and the God of War; as they bicker their way through. I won’t spoil the actual plot; but I really enjoyed the twist in this. There was enough foreshadowing for it, yet it never felt completely obvious.

I really love Sue Lynn Tan’s writing style; the lyrical prose transports you so easily to this world of Immortals and magic.
I really liked the two characters and how their relationship grows, and the themes of broken trust and rebuilding.

If you want to try Chinese mythology inspired fantasy, this is a fantastic entry point. You need no prior knowledge to enjoy this book, and it’s a standalone!
