I loved this book. I enjoyed all of the point of view characters. I loved the fight scenes. There were many times that I didn‘t want to put the book down, but had to for work (boooooo). I‘m definitely ready to read book 2: “The Art of Destiny” 🙂

I'm so glad I happened to pick this up at the library! This is a magical, martial arts fantasy. What happens when the prophecy breaks before it's fulfilled? The book follows 4 main characters who have to figure out what to do now. One of the characters is an elderly, disabled woman who is a grandmaster and she can still kick everyone‘s ass. Big fan!

I think I might be in love 😍

When Robin Hobb recommended this one, I knew I wouldn't be able to resist. What a cover though. And the endpapers have a full colour map... I hope the story lives up to the tasty packaging!

Come for the cover, stay for Ling Taishi 😍. The three extremely hardcore females make this epic martial arts fantasy. It struggled in the middle for me, but I loved the beginning and thought it wrapped up well.

Set in an alternate China. Martial Arts fights that far exceed what you‘ve seen in the cinema. A slowly expanding cast of characters. A Chosen One Coming of Age story like no other I‘ve read in a long time.

Look what the #ARC gods granted me, @RaeLovesToRead.

I'm three chapters in already. Might be one of the interesting epic books.

One great read and will get the second book to continue the story can‘t wait 🥰📖

So distraction… just look 👀 at this 🗺… I mean come on 🥰

I‘m starting this now… no really I‘m starting it in 1,…2,…3 🤪

Book mail 🤪 can‘t wait to read the tagged book 📖

Wow! This start to a new epic fantasy series really surpassed my expectations! Not being into martial arts, I worried a little bit that this one would be too violent & focused on fighting. While there‘s definitely plenty of action, the strength of the setting & the development of the characters is what dominates this well-written novel. Chu takes a common trope- the Chosen child & turns it into something fresh & fun! I can‘t wait for the sequel!

I read this wonderful Arc during my stay in the mountains. I loved this book.
The world building was excellent. The characters were both hilarious and wild, and as with any fantasy book, there are plenty of characters and storylines. If you‘re into Wuxia/Xianxia with incredible world building this is for you.
