Burning Roses

perfect beach read!! whisked me away and enraptured me in lovely classic childrens story retellings, ended up learning a lot too since i didn't know about the stories of hou yi and chang e (and have since been reading other renditions of them!!)

I think I did this book a disservice. I didn't realise this was a series before I picked it up. As such, I felt a little underwhelmed by the character development and world building. I now realise that this may be because its the third instalment. The sad thing is I don't know if I am intrigued enough to pick up the other books in the series.
