REVIEW: Daughter of the Moon Goddess (Sue Lynn Tan)
Book: Daughter of the Moon Goddess Author: Sue Lynn Tan Premise: Growing up on the moon, Xingyin is unaware that she is being hidden from the feared Celestial Emperor. But when her magic flares, she is forced to flee her home, leaving her mother behind. To save her mother, Xingyin embarks on a perilous quest, confronting legendary creatures and vicious enemies. This story is inspired by Chinese mythology and is full of adventure. Xingyin flees the moon to avoid discovery and has to hide in the Celestial Kingdom. She goes from servant, to friend of the Crown Prince, to legendary soldier, all while keeping her identity secret and trying to find a way to free her mother. There's a lot of romance in this book and I did find it got a little repetitive at times. But I enjoyed seeing Xingyin develop as a character, ending up as a badass warrior. Really easy to read and enjoyable throughout.
