First, I was really looking forward to reading this book, and after I finally did, it didn't disappoint. At first I was afraid it wouldn't live up to my expectations. But it turns out I really like it and the plot just flows. The characters are in accordance with their respective portions and needs. They have their own role to build the plot and to achieve the desired goals of the story. I like the character of Xingyin who started out as a naive girl, the daughter of a moon goddess who is isolated and only knows Ping'er and her mother. Then an incident makes her have to face a wide world that is different from her own. How she deals with the events that hit her, makes a decision from every available choice. I can't wait to read the next book because there are still many unanswered questions in this book. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

I enjoyed this romantasy for the most part. I love the mythical retelling, of course, but the love triangle gets too angsty and the star-crossed aspect gets tedious. ( )
