The world building, the characters, the writing.everything was fantastic. When it comes to fantasy, my standards are a little high and that's why when I read any sort of fantasy, I tend to be overly critical of them. Now I need book 2 ASAP, but guess what? I got to wait for another year. Last 25% of this book is a separate story, there is just so much action, and the ending. Healing each other from the wounds of the past. There is romance present in this book, but what I liked about this, was self-sacrificing for another. There is m + m as well as f + f female relationships, but they aren’t playing big role in this book. All characters were well thought through, I wish there is more information about Lotus sect in the book two. Royal intrigues and secrets of the palace. World full with Mythological creatures and objects. With magic and its affinities properly explained. I won’t write more, because honestly, there is so much beauty about this story and I don’t want to spoil it for you. But the price might be too high for both of them. She has to steel in order to survive.Īltan is a lost heir, his future was stolen at his child, now he is looking for revenge.Įventually their paths will cross and they will see an opportunity in each other to get what they both want. Two swords, which can either heal or destroy the world.Īhn is no one, she lives with the woman who found her many years ago and raised up as her granddaughter. There is so much Chinese Mythology inspired moments. This book is everything I like about Asian author Fantasy books. I didn’t have big expectations from this book, but it surprised me indeed. Genre: #YA #AsianLiterature #Fantasy #Mythology And gold-gold follows you and red thread of fate binds you together.”
