I love the retelling of myths, folklore stories, fairy tales and I love it more when is done with excellence, staying true to the country's culture and allure.
I ll be honest, I never read or knew the Chinese stories and I do know that this book, only takes part of the myth of the moon goddess and creates new stories, however, this is a story that makes you fall in love with the Chinese legends, that creates in you the need to search for more stories and learn more things about the history and legends.
The battles, the romantic essence of it, everything was just perfectly written and it helped create a part of the fantasy world in your mind.
Yes, some parts of it were slow and the thoughts of Xingyin are some times boring, but in a book with so many fight scenes and adventures it needs a few pages of lower pace to keep you going.
I am now eager for the second part!
