Reading the Celestial Kingdom series and every time they mention someone traveling on a cloud my “first thought, head empty” is this:

The Celestial Kingdom duology and Tales of The Celestial Kingdom

Yesterday I finished reading The Heart of the Sun Warrior and the epilogue in Tales of The Celestial Kingdom (I really was so in love with Daughter of the Moon Goddess that I had to order Tales in a language other than my native language because they are not translated yet and I think I would have gone CRAZY if I hadn't read the epilogue) AND WHAT A JOURNEY IT WAS. These wonderful descriptions, interesting characters (watching each of them evolve was amazing) - XINGYIN , WENZHI, LIWEI, CHANG'E, HOUYI, SHUXIAO, YANXI, YANMING, PING'ER I LOVE YOU ALL FOREVER ❤️. And I think I really cried all my tears because of what happened there, especially when reading The Heart of the Sun Warrior (PING'ER, YANMING AND OF COURSE WENZHI - my heart BREAKED INTO A MILLION PIECES 😭😭😭💔) but also the epilogue, although here I cried with joy and relief. I still have to read ,,Twilight'' from the Tales (because I had to, I just had to read the epilogue RIGHT NOW) but I have to spread it over time because I really don't want to say goodbye to this wonderful world created by Sue Lynn Tan 👑 (THANK YOU WITH ALL MY HEART & HATS OFF FOR CREATING SUCH A MASTERPIECES ❤️) - although I already feel this emptiness. To repeat: WHAT A JOURNEY IT WAS. Never before, no book, no duologies or trilogy has influenced me as much as The Celestial Kingdom duology, I really have never felt like I do now and I have never felt such a bond with the characters, with all the events. And it wasn't like I couldn't read a chapter because tears were covering my eyes. I'M HAPPY LIKE CRAZY, NO, EVEN MORE THAN HAPPY with the ending (including the epilogue, of course), THE EPILOGUE REALLY HEALED MY BROKEN HEART, AS IT MADE IT BACK TOGETHER, "A rival's spirit" (Liwei's pov) also had a huge impact on me. Duology and Tales are undoubtedly books that I would like to read over and over again - for someone to come to me, erase my memory and so that I could read them over and over again. LOVE LOVE LOVE. What I wrote above is only close to what I feel because I don't know what words I should use to describe it all exactly & I know it's chaotic but I'M A MESS

📚 Book #11/2024 - Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan

[idealog]

I have revealed for you the tricks of the lighted ones.

Truth protects and saves. Honesty, under the way, which I have made clear, allows for everlasting Life and Joy. Stop stifling people and animals and throwing them in cells, or I will Return with you and make you See.

Mini review for Daughter of the Moon Goddess! 4.5/5

(There are spoilers)

I went into this with zero expectations or idea of what this was about and enjoyed every moment!

I don’t recall a single moment of a lull in the plot and I feel like the storytelling here was exceptional. The world itself was beautiful and ethereal in its depictions and it only made me want to learn more of the heavenly realms.

My main critiques were the love stories. We’re given timeskips where we are told the FMC builds friendships with her love interests over several years to the point she knows both of them like the back of her hand. And of course these love interests have developed crushes on her but we rarely see her interest in them outside of a few jealous moments spurned by a persistent love triangle. In fact, I feel like if any of the characters were to randomly profess their love to her she would just immediately accept them and add yet another love interest to her growing collection of admirers. Overall they just felt like they came out of nowhere and I couldn’t truly connect to any of the relationships.

I also felt quite frustrated at the main character. For a girl that was so sure of herself and so determined to save her family, she sure seemed to enjoy stringing her men along. It was like a game of ping pong for her going back and forth between men and it made me want to facepalm so many times. I recall a quote where she questions her heart being fickle and I felt my eyes almost roll to the back of my head.

I will say, although I hate love triangles, this one I was able to tolerate the longest… until the end of course. New record.

Buuuuut ignoring that mess of a love triangle soap opera, everything else was fabulous. The action, adventure, friendship, growth? And then throw in some badass magic? Who wouldn’t like that? Overall a solid 4.5/5.

One of my favoritest things in the world is getting to rant to people who think all Christians believe people who are gay/commit sexual sins/petty theft/any other sin that's minor(or even the worse ones, that aren't quite as bad as denying christ) are going to hell about the 3 degrees of glory. "You're Christian? So you think I'm going to hell for____?" Great news, bestie.

seeing people discussing the concept of hell and how cruel the idea of eternal punishment is like, wow! i know this belief system you would love if not for your knee-jerk reaction against its name

You didn't help me with chump change when you were right next door and it was the easiest thing in the world to heal me. May the Divine do the same to you, so you understand.

You loved putting your karma on the innocent; let's see you enjoy it not.

THIS BOOK WILL NEVER EXPIRE;
