Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan

3.0

A strong 3.5-4 ⭐️

Really enjoyed the Chinese mythology basis for this book. Characters were also very engaging! There was a great balance between action, adventure and romance. Also dang, that plot twist (I did not see it coming). Book was well written. Some words and phrases were a little repetitive (iron and salt, and there was so much brocade fabric everywhere - literally every chapter I think). Mild complaints, but something I definitely noticed. Wish it was a little spicier romance wise but overall a very enjoyable read!

It’s get me every time.

Third time rereading this book (2023) - and I will continue to read it far into my future years. Poignant, raw, emotional and touching on many levels. It makes me fall in love with Dublin all over again.

This book was such a pleasure to read. All I can say is damn, Greek gods really don’t give a fuck and that is how I’m gonna live my life now. 5/5 ⭐️
