This book was perfectly paced and beautifully written. The world was vibrant and the characters were layered and flawed and real, yet also we’re aspirational. The twist was predictable but made for a great plot. The second one is already ordered and I’m excited to read.

leyleylena's review against another edition
There is not much gripping in the book--despite existing in a world of magical creatures, immortals, and enchanted weaponry, the novel focuses firmly on a prince-meets-nobody narrative which was a slog to go through and ultimately lost me a third through the book.

Daughter of the Moon Goddess
Sue Lynn Tan
4/5 stars
So, The Daughter of the Moon Goddes is one of recommendations for my 12 book challenge. I was intrigued to read it because of its beautiful cover. I swear, Kuri Huang as the illustrator has done a really good job for that. So far, I could say thay I enjoy this book, even though in the end, I wonder why it needs a second book for it.
The Story
Xingyin is the daughter of the Moon Goddess. Her existence is unknown since his mother, Chang'e has to hide her since she was born. In this universe, Chang'e has been punished because she drank the elixir which enable her to be immortal. This fact has enraged the Celestial Kingdom. It became worse as her husband also slayed the sun bird, which still part of the family from the Celestial Empress. Therefore, when Chang'e realized she no longer can protect his daughter on the moon, Chang'e send Xingyin away to mortal world.
Not knowing anything, Xingyin tried her best to survive. One day, when she worked as a maid for a young lady, she meet a guy who turned out to be the Celestial Crown Prince. His name is Liwei. Then, the story began from there.
Start from Xingyin become the companion for Liwei, her experience as part of the Celestial army, until her fight for love and life.
The Opinion
Well, tbh I love how Sue Lynn Tan divided the story into three parts. Each part in a way told us the significance of Xingyin's life development. At first, I felt that Xingyin and Liwei still underage. Therefore, most of the times their attitude was so childish. I almost throw my phone when read it.
