Goodreads Description: Growing up on the moon, Xingyin is accustomed to solitude, unaware that she is being hidden from the feared Celestial Emperor who exiled her mother for stealing his elixir of immortality. But when Xingyin’s magic flares and her existence is discovered, she is forced to flee her home, leaving her mother behind.

Alone, powerless, and afraid, she makes her way to the Celestial Kingdom, a land of wonder and secrets. Disguising her identity, she seizes an opportunity to learn alongside the emperor’s son, mastering archery and magic, even as passion flames between her and the prince.

To save her mother, Xingyin embarks on a perilous quest, confronting legendary creatures and vicious enemies across the earth and skies. But when treachery looms and forbidden magic threatens the kingdom, she must challenge the ruthless Celestial Emperor for her dream—striking a dangerous bargain in which she is torn between losing all she loves or plunging the realm into chaos.

Sometimes you read a book that’s impossible to CAWPILE, and this is one of those books. I just cannot get my head around how good this book was. It’s a few days later and I’m still thinking about it. The atmosphere, the magic, the writing is pure MAGIC. If there is one word that describes this book, it’s pure magic.

This is a fairytale through and through. I rooted for things I normally don’t root for, like the love triangle. The pining, the yearning, the angst. I was hooked on every single thing. I loved all three of our main characters, but maybe Wengzi the most. He is by far my favourite and I need more of his story. Hopefully, we’ll get a POV in the next book.

The world is beautiful and expansive, and every kingdom is distinct and unique. I hope the physical book includes a map because that will be awesome.

The book does have a bit of a slow start, but after the 30% mark, it really gets going. The writing is more telling rather than showing, but it works in the context of the story.

I’m so excited for the second book, I hope it goes where I think it’s going to go.
