I love the story of Chang’e. This story had it all - fantasy, romance, drama, mystery. I enjoyed it.

Meh. Way too fast through events, everything was just happening out of no where like the book needed every event to happen as quickly as possible. It’s a great read if you don’t have anything else and need something quickly you don’t need to pay as much attention to, but if you realize you missed a chapter while driving good luck, you’ll miss like ten big things. Narrator made her VERY whiney. I think that is another reason the book was not as good. She made characters seem different than intended. There was no difference between men. That was hard to understand who was talking if you spaced out for a minute. I might read second book but I’m going back to reread my others I haven’t listened to in a while instead. The romance had zero build up which was weird too. No connection to characters.

The writing in the and the wording was impeccable. The way the emotions poured out of the wording completely changed the dynamic of the story.

Honestly, this was so beautifully written. I felt like I was rewatching those olden days beautiful Chinese dramas. So beautiful. Loved it

This is an awesome first book! The characters are well developed, the world building is beautiful, and the story is very entertaining. At times there are too many details given.Too much description, and too much time given to her inner most thoughts, as they are often repetitive. This tends to make it seem overly wordy, which can at times make it feel longer and more drawn out than necessary.

I enjoyed this book though the plot is a little predictable. The main character is occasionally trying when she comes across as more whiney than I usually enjoy. But I love the world building and the magic. The side tales and setting are evocative and beautiful. And I like the main character's personal development through the book.

Entrancing story, great for long commutes.

Loved this book!

I enjoyed the book but it was predictable.

By itself it was a typical story, how an outcast gets help from a generous high-standing person to make something of herself and get the chance to save herself and her family. But of course there were plenty turns and twists in the story. There was romance (more than once), heroism, war, peace, honor, hatred and compassion. Everything a good story needs.

book was pretty good, I liked the myth and theme but the characters weren't well developed in my opinion.

Fantasy. Not for me.
