Reading this feels like reading poetry. How Sue Lynn Tan describes everything is just 100/10 spectacular beautiful amazing stunning. As one of chinese descent, it’s nice to finally read a fantasy book with familiar lores. From the tales to the food, the dresses and action scenes which I can easily picture in my head from years of watching asian dramas, my heart was filled with warmth the entire time.
Now onto the characters. Xingyin. Our 小星。At first so untouched by the realities of the cruel world out there, now a warrior, survivor, savior and more. Very in theme too that she was never shown what healthy love & relationships looks like so when she was thrown in a ‘love triangle’ she couldn’t made up her mind ever and felt unworthy.
Liwei. What can I say. 10/10 best of all of us.
Fuck people in power by the way.

It’s an interesting story but the way its told isn’t: it’s too simple and repetitive in its themes, things happen too easily, and I really dislike the way the reader is given information as if the author forgot that certain things were necessary until it became too late to continue the story without that information so a random character we know little to nothing about divulges said information to the main character. No, thank you.

Reread Review.
I enjoyed this the first time I read it and it still held up after a reread. I’m not usually a huge fan of fantasy but I love that this moves so quickly. The characters were a little one note for me and I had forgotten how irritating Xingyin could be. Overall the author writes well and I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a gateway into the fantasy genre.
