Yin and Yang: A Fool's Beginning by Odette C. Bell
3.5
Yin and Yang is a rather predictable fantasy with the chosen one being a young woman, who meets a very reserved young soldier, who is just drawn to her.
I definitely liked that the "romance" part in here is so slow, there is just a tad of attraction, but no surrounding drama yet.
I did enjoy how the Yin is a strong woman, taught to be a fighter with special magic, but she's also not afraid to cry. So often the "strong female characters" are just stubborn, annoying and good at everything just because.
Yin definitely is stubborn as well, but she is willing to work hard, and actually sacrifice for what she believes in. I enjoyed having a woman who isn't just extra graceful and immediate godi at everything.
Despite this, it's still quite full of tropes. So if you are looking for something fresh and surprising, this book will definitely not be your right choice. If you're however looking for something easy to digest, it's definitely worth a look.
