This book was so interesting.. I love Asian mythologyy and the cover, moon and dragons?? Win Win for me.. Chinese mentions and Mulan vibes? It was very interesting.. Do I think it could be better?? Yes definitly, can't wait for the second one

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.

While I love a good epic fantasy with twisty plot and breath-taking romance as much as the next girl, there was something slightly missing from this one for me. I think if you're a fan of wuxia as well as Chinese historical dramas then this will tick a lot of boxes for you - but be prepared to find some of the potential love interests infuriating!

One thing that knocked a half a star off for me is a little spoilery:

the FMC Tang Sai’er, who is the reincarnation of the moon goddess Chang'e, has magic which seemingly depends on her staying 'virtuous' and is tied to her virginity. This was uncomfortable for me to read and soured the story a bit. It also meant that a lot of opponents were trying to, well, rid her of her virginity throughout.

Readers also be aware that this is firmly an adult fantasy, regardless of the very pretty cover!

4 stars from me. I loved to read this book so much. What I loved the most was the plot and the characters. Do good. So well built. So entertaining.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for the ARC. I was excited to read this as a fan of wuxia dramas, but unfortunately the book was not for me. It took me forever to get interested into reading the story, and I had to force myself to keep going. The beginning felt quite slow to me.

The cover was the first thing that drew me in, the story afterwards kept me reading until the very last page!
