I didn‘t like this standalone book quite as much as Tan‘s Daughter of the Moon Goddess/Heart of the Sun Warrior duology but it was still a fun, fast paced, entertaining read. Gods, mortals, evil flying creatures, portals, love (lost and perhaps found), danger and high stakes—if you like all these things, you‘ll find a lot to like in this book. Great characters, great world building—Tan is a great writer and knows how to tell a good story.
