This week I’m diving into Daughter of the Moon Goddess, a 2022 fantasy tale inspired by Chinese mythology, rich with celestial intrigue, forbidden love, and the journey of a young woman determined to challenge the gods themselves.
Forced to flee her home on the moon, where she lived in exile with her mother, Xingyin must navigate the perilous world of immortals, uncover her family’s secrets, and fight to free her mother from eternal imprisonment.
As always, I’ll be talking about the character development, world-building, and emotional depth, plus my feelings on the romance. If you love lyrical storytelling, Chinese mythology, and heroines who forge their own destiny, this one’s for you.
And stay tuned for my review of Darker Days by Thomas Olde Heuvelt—a dark, unsettling tale where folklore and fear collide.
So brew a cup of tea, get cosy, and let’s talk books.
