The moon goddess has a daughter who has been kept hidden. But when the two are separated, Xingyin is determined to find her mother once more and rescue her from her imprisonment.
This book is very popular right now and everyone is talking about it! Mostly I hear good things, but I have heard some people complain that they got bored with it. I am in between.
To start with the positives, there are so many wonderful things about this book. The writing is beautiful, flowery and poetic without being too much. This story is rooted in Chinese mythology and I love that aspect of it. It's fascinating and I think the author did an excellent job of bringing these myths to life.
On the downside, I found it very boring after a while. I was really into it and then it just started to drag for me. I feel as if the book could've been much shorter or maybe even the duology could have been a trilogy instead, I am not sure. I just know that I was getting so bored and tired of this book before even the halfway mark. I also am not sure if I was supposed to be invested in the romantic relationships in this book, but I did not feel it. I was just kind of "eh".
Overall, I am giving it three stars because while I did enjoy it and love the writing, I just was kind of bored of it after a bit.
