A review by shewriteswithknives
Heart of the Sun Warrior by Sue Lynn Tan

5.0

I read this book in 8 hours. Ever since Moon Goddess ended, I have been impatiently waiting for its sequel. Sue Lynn Tan did not disappoint.

The world was just as whimsical and magical as the first book. Out of the two, I did prefer the first one more, but I enjoyed watching Xingyin grow, whereas in this next book we see her trying to navigate who she should be with, as well as trying to feel a particular void in her family. (I'm trying not to give away spoilers).

I was satisfied with the ending. I wish we had a bit more detail on Xingyin and you know who at the end, but I am glad that is who she ended up with.

Wenzhi's character development was wonderful. I always enjoyed him but loved seeing the effort he put into Xingyin and everyone else around her. Leiwei was kind and remarkable just as he was in the first.

I can't wait to read this story again in a couple of years. It is defiantly one of my comfort reads and an absolute favorite.
