Legend of the White Snake
by Sher Lee
Thanks to the author and the publisher for the ARC!
I remember eagerly awaiting the release of Fake Dates and Mooncakes last year, and now here I am, reading ARC of Sher Lee's new book, The Legend of the White Snake. In this retelling of a traditional Chinese folktale, a snake spirit transforms into a boy and must hide his true identity after falling for a headstrong prince.
First, can we talk about the cover art? It's absolutely stunning! ️ The snake, the colors, the tiny details, and of course, the characters!! @kuri_huang nailed it! Sher Lee has created a story that is as enchanting as it is heartfelt. The details are perfect, from the translations to the cultural tidbits, making sure readers don't miss a thing. The chemistry between Zhen and Xian is so well done. Their relationship is beautifully written with a mix of tension, tenderness, and undeniable attraction. I loved how their interactions were both sweet and intense, making their bond feel real and deep. And oh, the plot twist! I definitely didn't see it coming. Just when I thought I had the story figured out, it threw in a twist that left me in disbelief.
My only complaint is that the book was short. I wanted more of Zhen and Xian, more of their journey, and more of the characters. This story is so good that I could easily have spent more time in it.
Releasing on 17th October, this book is a must-read for fans of folklore retellings and ya fantasy.
