The acclaimed national and international bestseller

"Epic, romantic, and enthralling from start to finish."â??Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Caraval series

"An all-consuming work of literary fantasy that is breathtaking both for its beauty and its suspense."â??BookPage, starred review

A captivating and romantic debut epic fantasy inspired by the legend of the Chinese moon goddess, Chang'e, in which a young woman's quest to free her mother pits her against the most powerful immortal in the realm.

Growing up on the moon, Xingyin is accustomed to solitude, unaware that she is being hidden from the feared Celestial Emperor who exiled her mother for stealing his elixir of immortality. But when Xingyin's magic flares and her existence is discovered, she is forced to flee her home, leaving her mother behind.

Alone, powerless, and afraid, she makes her way to the Celestial Kingdom, a land of wonder and secrets. Disguising her identity, she seizes an opportunity to learn alongside the emperor's son, mastering archery and magic, even as passion flames between her and the prince.

To save her mother, Xingyin embarks on a perilous quest, confronting legendary creatures and vicious enemies. But when treachery looms and forbidden magic threatens the kingdom, she must challenge the ruthless Celestial Emperor for her dreamâ??striking a dangerous bargain in which she is torn between losing all she loves or plunging the realm into chaos.

Daughter of the Moon Goddess begins an enchanting duology which weaves ancient Chinese mythology into a sweeping adventure of immortals and magic, of loss and sacrificeâ??where love vies with honor, dreams are fraught with betrayal, and hope emerges triu… (mehr)

Once upon a time the moon goddess was a mortal woman in love with the man who used his impressive bow skills to do the Celestial Emperor a big favor and win a vial of immortality elixir. But when he was away and she was dying in child birth, she took the elixir to save herself and her child and was punished for it by being banished to the moon. And so Xingyin – the child – has grown up knowing only the moon, her mother, and a servant. All that changes overnight when the Emperor’s servants pay a surprise visit and nearly discover Xingyin’s existence, so her mother sends her away to seek her fortune. This is the story of how Xingyin works to find a way to free her mother from the Emperor’s curse, becoming a skilled fighter in his army along the way, as well as getting herself involved in a messy love triangle, of course.

I enjoyed this romantasy for the most part. I love the mythical retelling, of course, but the love triangle gets too angsty and the star-crossed aspect gets tedious. ( )

First, I was really looking forward to reading this book, and after I finally did, it didn't disappoint. At first I was afraid it wouldn't live up to my expectations. But it turns out I really like it and the plot just flows.

The characters are in accordance with their respective portions and needs. They have their own role to build the plot and to achieve the desired goals of the story.

I like the character of Xingyin who started out as a naive girl, the daughter of a moon goddess who is isolated and only knows Ping'er and her mother. Then an incident makes her have to face a wide world that is different from her own. How she deals with the events that hit her, makes a decision from every available choice.

I can't wait to read the next book because there are still many unanswered questions in this book. ( )

I just finished this yesterday and if I was just in the middle I would disagree with anyone saying that the main character is annoying, but after her "kidnapping" yeah, she did annoy me haha ( )
