I was sent a complimentary copy by Avon & Harper Voyager US through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. This doesn’t affect my thoughts about the book in any way.
Sue Lynn Tan is back in this luscious romantasy standalone between an ambitious ruler and a revered God of War. Her flowery prose brings a timeless finish to the beauty of her Chinese fantasy books. The world building Is lush and rich with the elements of the widely loved Daughter of the Moon Goddess but is also thriving with her new characters’ persona and their amazing chemistry. Inspired by the aesthetic of xianxia dramas, this is perfect for fans of The Last Dragon of the East.
ZHANGWEI THE MAN THAT YOU ARE !! literally giggled so hard at every single line from this man. i could taste the tension and absolute longing :D 10/10 give me more male leads like him. for fans of sue lynn tan's books, he will NOT disappoint.
The romance between a headstrong ruler and a God of War was so beautifully-written. The action-fantasy was perfectly tied with treacherous court politics. Immortal is a stunning standalone, absolutely to die for! I am so glad that I secured an advanced copy (I cannot wait THAT LONG anymore). I cannot and will not share spoilers, but the tension between the main character and her love interest was sooooo wonderful. It reminded me so much of two people who loved each other despite all the odds (IYKYK)
PSA: Sue has told me that there might be a short story about Immortal sometime in the future!
