I was conservative on my first read of this book, about a year ago. Turns out there was no need. This is a terrifying and beautiful masterpiece.

I found the second book of the series less enjoyable than the first and third books, but I'm incredibly happy I kept reading. The rating is for the series as a whole, which is drawn to a heart-wrenching and beautiful conclusion in this book.

Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan
Did not finish book. Stopped at 11%.

The protagonist was not as endearing as she was meant to be. She was poorly written. Some beautiful imagery, etc., but the pacing and characters were off.
