After devouring every fable she could find in the library, she discovered fantasy books, spending much of her childhood lost in magical worlds. Her love for stories began with a gift from her father, her first compilation of fairytales from around the world. īorn in Malaysia, Sue Lynn studied in London and France, before moving to Hong Kong with her family. Her books will be translated into sixteen languages, and are USA Today and Sunday Times bestsellers.įind her on Instagram or Twitter or on her website. I loved it dearly.Sue Lynn Tan is the award-winning author of Daughter of the Moon Goddess and Heart of the Sun Warrior, a romantic fantasy duology inspired by the legend of Chang’e, the Chinese moon goddess. Each of the final 4 chapters produced large, cheek-rolling tears for me.

Regardless of how that book turns out, this book will remain a dear favorite of mine for years to come. It could stand well enough on its own but the last half of the duology arrives next week. It’s a character trait that gives her quirk and personality but it should have been done 3 times instead of 6.ĭaughter of the Moon Goddess is an unparalleled work of Noblebright that I will not soon forget.

The one other thing is that there were too many mentions made of Xingyin vampirizing herself.

Take us to smell the roses a bit and let us savor it! I’m aware that this is what sells in the current market, but this is a story so beautiful that it could have done with a bit more flower in the prose or more setting description to help the story breathe some. A lot happens in this book as it unfolds at an absolute breakneck pace.

The only constructive criticism is to stretch things out a little more. This book will deliver those things and make you swoon at the hands of its’ tenderness and altruism. We all want to get to know characters, see them make all the right choices, and eventually triumph over oppression and cruelty. How could I not rate this book 5 stars (on Goodreads)?ĭaughter of the Moon Goddess is not a perfect masterpiece, but it is the reason why we all read books.
