A review by thefantasticalworldofsara
She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan

4.0

MY THOUGHTS:

- both the main characters are gender non-conforming and queer and it made me so ! dang! happy!!
- this is a story of fate and identity and how following your fate can be both great and terrible. Would I go about my life like either of the main characters? no. Did I understand why they did what they did? hell yes
- Ouyang and Zhu made fascinating foils and this is one of the rare occasions where I loved reading both perspectives equally!
-Ouyang's storyline broke my heart
- Zhu's storyline of eventual acceptance was dope but their pursuit of greatness at all costs makes me nervous for what comes next
- Xu Da can have my whole soul

Overall, I totally understand the hype of this book and I'm hopeful there's a second book because I wanna know what happens next!
