Daughter of the Moon Goddess

This was very new genre for me as I have very recently drifted more towards fantasy and was very pleasently surprised.

Xingyin is a well written character and I think the whole “love myself more” arc was quite refreshing as many books I have read tend to have female characters that will flung themselves at first love interest.

With this said, the 2 male characters did not “stick” with me as much, I found Wenzhi incredibly difficult to get to know but also his motive towards the end of the book does not feel like the real motive nor what he really wants. Liwei felt much more like a character I would understand but there I also struggled to really understand his reasonings or the way he reacted to Xingyin's decisions.

The ending when she finally got to tell her mom she was no longer imprisoned did bring me tears.

The story was amazing and I was left many times surprised by how scenes turned out as it was very predictable, I think however towards the end that it almost became too many twists which brings down the rating for me.

Over all, incredibly pleased with this book and already looking forward to read the second one!
