THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

‘Epic, romantic, and enthralling from start to finish’ Stephanie Garber

The stunning conclusion to the Celestial Kingdom Duology

Those forged through fire form the strongest blades.

After winning her mother’s freedom from the Emperor, Xingyin lives peacefully at home on the moon. But that fragile peace is threatened by a strange new magic –Xingyin is determined to keep clear of danger, but the discovery of a shocking truth forces her to flee her home once more.

Xingyin and her companions venture across the Immortal Realm, encountering cunning monarchs, legendary creatures, beloved friends and bitter foes on their travels. As an unspeakable terror sweeps the realm – Xingyin must uncover the truth of her heart and rise against this evil before it destroys everything she holds dear, and all she has grown to love…

Inspired by the legend of Chang’e the Moon Goddess, this is the sequel to Sue Lynn Tan’s captivating debut, DAUGHTER OF THE MOON GODDESS.

In the second book in the Celestial Kingdom Duology, Tan weaves Chinese mythology into a sweeping adventure of love and family, immortals and magic – penning a modern classic sure to enchant.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great YA fantasy book

The story is captivating, and the performance is quite smooth, with a nice and relaxing voice.

Recommend

A very strong follow up to the first, brilliant book. There are a few areas where the story flags a bit but it was very enjoyable all the same.
The narrator was fantastic, as with the first book.

Lovely conclusion

This is the second and final book to the duology.

The narrator was great and I felt the characters and plot to be more complex that the first book, I liked them both!

The main plot of this book is not really based on the first, although the characters are continuations, and honestly this plot could have been extended and become more complex to create an epic, my mind goes to all these extended complexities and twists it could have had. But this duology wasn't meant to be an epic.

There are some bits and plotholes that I would have liked to have explained, and some slightly repetitive parts, but it didn't bother me much nor detract from the enjoyment of the audiobook.

I love learning about eastern folklore and this is a story based upon them. It's different to those based on western and greek folklore, and it makes it even more appealing.

Some may not have found the conclusion of the duology to be satisfactory but I thought it was perfect.
