In the first book, Daughter of the Moon Goddess, Xingyin went through a lot and there's a lot of references back to things that happened in the first book. Namely to a betrayal, abduction and imprisonment by someone whom she trusted. This is referenced quite a bit throughout the book, especially in the beginning.

I adored the first book and I feel the same about the sequel. I kept reading cause I just needed to know what happened. 

I’m soooo happy with the ending like ahhhhhh I can’t wait for the extended epilogue coming out really soon to see even more of my favs

Once again Sue Lynn Tan’s writing is exquisite. The way she details the immortal realm, what their wearing, the pain, the sadness, the self reflection, everything was breath taking. The Heart of the Sun Warrior increased the stakes for Xingyin’s relentless adversities. She truly is a warrior. I was very happy with the ending. This duology will stay with me forever.
