Song of Silver, Flame Like Night by Amélie Wen Zhao

5.0

This was such an amazing story! I absolutely loved the folklore elements mixed throughout this story such as the 4 Demon Gods and the use of Qi (life force) to do magic. This was such a unique fantasy that pulled Chinese mythology and Folklore into the story and weaved it together beautifully. This is not a light cozy fantasy as it has dark elements to it, which I personally loved. The progression of character growth that I got to see through Lan and Zen was really interesting to read! I really loved the 2 main characters and their interactions with each other. They have 2 differing perspectives on how to deal with conflict, which was very intriguing to see how their opinions played out with the main plot in the story. Also I thoroughly enjoyed the light romance between Lan and Zen, it was very sweet! The book left on such a cliffhanger like I need to know what is going to happen now! I’m super excited to read the sequel when it releases! 5 stars ⭐️ And a new favourite!
