GOD DAMMIT WENZHI
I haven't felt this betrayed by a book character in ages. How dare he?
Anywho, this book was lovely. Daughter of the Moon Goddess is a beautifully written tale about a girl who just wants to save her mom, and I love her for that. The mythology in this book was fascinating, and the descriptive prose was vivid and gorgeous. While I'm usually not a fan of the love triangle, I really enjoyed this one, although I sort of still want Xingyin to end up with Wenzhi; I'm sorry, I'm trash. Liwei is great, but like Wenzhi just really does it for me. Even though he BETRAYED ME. God.

I generally enjoy books inspired by Chinese mythology, and this was no different. While it wasn’t a spectacular read for me, I truly have nothing bad to say about it. The writing is beautiful, the mythology is rich, and I enjoyed following all of our main characters through their journeys.
The big twist genuinely shocked me, which was such a pleasant surprise. And I’ll admit—my ship happened, which always guarantees a happy ending in my book. Overall, it was a solid and enjoyable read that left me satisfied and curious about where the series will go next.
