📔
Kudos for the gorgeous cover!
What to Expect
- YA Fantasy novel
- Chinese folklore and mythology
- Fantastical creatures and magic
- Compelling characters
- Collision of the past and present (colonizer vs colonized)
- The balance and imbalance of the world
- A bit of romance
- Battles, sacrifice and catastrophe
- Secrets
What I Missed
- Having our characters learned from past mistakes, certain decisions were hard to digest as the logical course of action.
- Could some of the sacrifice be avoided? I wasn’t fully convinced of some of those events.
- The history behind with all the names, kingdoms and conquests can slow down the story and confuse a bit.
- The last chapter didn’t click for me. I would have added what’s revealed in the upcoming book description to understand one of the MC’s mission.
