mit o chang’e jest jednym z moich ulubionych, wiec cieszę sie, ze jest książka inspirowana jej historią. bardzo lubiłam trio xingyi, liwei, wenzhi, ale te wątki miłosne to było dla mnie trochę za dużo ngl, do tego plot twist też mnie nie zaskoczył, tylko bardziej doprowadził do szału - typowe cliche; szczególnie biorąc pod uwagę fakt, że ten wątek imo pojawił się trochę bez sensu, to jak był prowadzony meh, również bez szału.

spoiler?

nie chodzi o to, że on był zły bo fajnie cute im all for it, ale tutaj tak unprovoked to się pojawiło i był słabo napisanym tym „villianem” autorka zrobiła z niego demona tylko for the sake of plot nwm jakby śmierdzi mi takim disneyowym czarnym charakterem meh !!

overall podobało mi się, mimo że często autorka posługuje się cliche motywami, które czasem bolą w oczy, ale nie na tyle, żeby przyćmiewało to resztę historii.

Thank you to netgalley for providing me with this e-arc

“Everyone has their own troubles; some lay them bare while others hide them better.”

w o w just wow this book was such a stunning and beautiful read.

Daughter of the moon goddess is a story Inspired by the legend of Chang’e the Chinese moon goddess. We follow Xingyin as she leaves the sanctuary of the moon on a quest to help free her mother and attempt to navigate the Celestial Kingdom.

This book is truly filled to the brim with character development, love triangles, beautiful writing, Chinese mythology and culture. For one of my most anticipated reads for 2022, Daughter of the moon goddess was a joy to read.

While there was no cliff hanger we have been left with a lot of loose ends which I can not wait to see how they are handled in book two.

4/5 stars

This was a strong debut novel. The writing was a bit awkward at times but that dimmed in comparison to the multilayer plot. The characters were well done—the main character, though I mad at her several times for being so pigheaded, was strong and determined.

Above all—this was a great fantasy tale of the love between mother and daughter.

MC felt very flat, romance felt forced, and battle scenes were disappointing
