Kadomi@buecher.pnpde.social reviewed Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan (The Celestial Kingdom Duology, #1)
Romance meets Chinese folklore
3 stars
Beautiful setting based on Chinese folklore. Unfortunately, that's the high point of the book. Started really strong, but the main character Xingyin turned out to be a Mary Sue mostly concerned with my utterly least favorite romance trope, the love triangle. The writing was lovely, but Xingyin bored me to tears. I did genuinely love the setting, just wish it had been less of a romance, and more of an interesting fantasy story with more interesting characters.
