A lot of HOTSW involves Xingyin figuring out what her heart actually wants, as Wenzhi has been relentless in trying to reconnect with her.Yes, but the writing is beautiful and in truth that detail was helpful at times in building and painting in the broad world expansion we get with all the kingdoms and the full journey and transformation Xingyin goes through. I will always have such a special place in my heart for this series, and I cannot wait to re-read this on audio with Natalie Naudus as the narrator.

Heart of the Sun Warrior - Sue Lynn Tan Book Review Heart of the Sun Warrior - Sue Lynn Tan Book Review

Because the last person thought to be the Beloved was brutally murdered by the enemy kingdom of Folterra, Emmeline has dedicated the last sixteen years to hiding her daughter and keeping her safe. There were snippets of her mortal life at the start of the book which gave me hope that she would be fleshed out as a character. By drawing the true ending out, it also felt like it detracted a bit from the power of the climax which was very emotional, though the last 2 chapters were truly worth it, it might just feel like a lot of moping and aimless wandering until then. I think I will think of The Daughter of the Moon Goddess as a standalone, and if i decide to re-read I will only be reading the one. If you loved the first, you have to read this sequel or are looking for a series with action, romance, and strong thematic discussions!

Thank you to Sue Lynn Tan, for creating such a wonderful duology and world that I will absolutely miss. I was pleasantly surprised by finding out who the real ML was at the end because I was rooting for him too. Now at seventeen, Vanna is to be married off in a vulgar contest that will enrich the coffers of the village leaders.
