This was a good fantasy adventure in a Chinese mythology based world.
I liked the writing and the story with a few fun twists.
The romance (love triangle) was a bit too much for me, and very standard YA.
But the atmosphere and locations were well described and very interesting.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

I am a mythology nerd and as soon as I saw that it's a Legend of Chang'e retelling, I was excited for this! Also that cover is absolutely stunning!!!

I really loved it so much, especially the Chinese mythology and culture. The writing is so beautiful and it just flows so well. Xingyin is badass archer and I find it incredible how she can shoot arrows at flying objects, blindfolded. I mean, do I need to say more????

It's divided into 3 arcs and I found the third part to be the most interesting. I am really curious about Wenzhi, he's a great character. Hopefully we'll know more about him in the next book. Liwei, on the other hand, was more interesting in the beginning. As we neared the end, I just found him to be lackluster.

Overall, I really enjoyed it and I'm excited for the sequel!

This is a very beautifully written jam packed book, but in a very good way. The world building was dreamy. I was invested in the characters, even the side characters and cared about what happened to them. However, I feel like the main character was the typical "girl has something bad happen to her and she has to fight to fix it" but everything she needs to do so just falls in her lap in a neatly wrapped package.
