If you're in for some c-drama reading with gods and monsters and all the feels, this book is definitely for you. It delivers with a beautiful storyline full of tension, twists and turns and a female main character who has got to find her way between light & dark and learning to trust her heart more than what she has been told so far & society dictates.
I loved the beautifully created world with all its inhabitants and its lush, sumptuous landscapes, the discrepancy between the human world and the one the immortals have retreated into.
On this background, An'ying's story unfolds with her father, her mother and her sister and the truths she uncovers on her journeying to claim the pearl that she hopes will restore her mother back to health.
By the end of the book the story is not over yet, so cannot wait to see what happens on the quest she is on, with higher stakes and more parties involved and discovering more of this world she lives in.
This review refers to the eARC I received from the publisher in return for an honest review.
