I loved this book! Not only is the plot interesting but there are twists I didn’t see coming. Looking forward to the second part. If you’re interested in reading magic, witches and suspense. You are going to love this! Best book of the year imo. The characters bring this story alive, you get a good feel about their personalities etc

Almost as good as Do No harm, I enjoyed reading this , I barely put it down. The only reason why I didn’t give it a 5 was because I predicted the ending and the verdict. It was keeping me in suspense and there were some unsuspecting moments. I’m looking forward to reading more from Jack.

Sue Lynn Tan has wrote another fantastic trilogy. Her passion for her stories is all in the pages themselves. You envision it like you are there with the characters. Xingyin is a fierce and bold young lady who goes above and  beyond for her loved ones and for the Celestial army.  This book is the perspectives from all the well known and beloved characters from the book "Daughter of the moon goddess and heart of the sun warrior. " Focusing primarily on Chinese mythology. The trilogy is worth a read. You won't be disappointed!
