A review by horrendously
Dark Star Burning, Ash Falls White by Amélie Wen Zhao
4.0
4.5/5 Stars
Miss Amélie Wen Zhao… you’re going to have to pay for my therapy session after this book. I’m serious. I’ve been crying for about 20 minutes now and I still don’t know how to cope after reading this book.
I loved the first book in this series and was excited to receive more about this interesting world and learn where the plot was going especially after the end of book 1. In this book we gain more of an understanding of the folklore/mythology and I enjoyed every second. I’m so glad we got to learn more in this book especially as someone who loves learning about any form of mythology. I do wish this wasn’t a duology, I do think there is so much more we could build on in this world, but who knows maybe ( I'm praying ) we’ll get more??
As for the characters in this book, I loved Zen’s POV. Him still loving Lan although he is practically her enemy, him fighting the Black Tortoise. You can really tell he was fighting hard, and his character developed a ton for me and made him even more likable. As for Lan, I loved that she was constantly staying true to her cause even when it was hard at times. She is an amazing heroine and her pov’s were always my favorite. The characters' romance was there, not as much as I wished in this book, but what can I say, they’re on opposite sides. I wasn't expecting much but when we got it, I ate it up.
The last 2 chapters of this book have absolutely destroyed me but this is the ending we needed. Although it hurts, I’ll live.
