Celestial Banquet by Roselle Lim
fast-paced
3.0
This was a cute little read!
It was very fast paced and I usually love a fast-paced plot however, this felt slightly too fast.
Even though I was 100% rooting for them, I struggled to connect with the characters on a deeper level, which I guess isn’t imperative to this kind of story but, it made the romance kind of redundant since, I wanted them to win but, I didn’t really care whether they got together or not.
Celestial Banquet has a really solid idea, major gods hosting a deadly cooking competition? I WAS SO EXCITED!
I especially liked the little scroll excerpts at the beginning of each chapter!
And while it didn’t disappoint, it was definitely lacking.
The concept was so unique and I would read something like this again, but it lacks overall depth.
The detail however, was amazing; the foods sounded delectable!
Overall, I wasn’t invested as emotionally as I would have liked to be, but i enjoyed it nonetheless and will recommend my friends - that like food competitions more than me - to give this one a go, upon release!
