This was great. I particularly loved the first part with the story set up, and Xingyin and Liwei meeting and becoming friends. I was sucked in right away. But it was all a fun journey - from the moon to the Celestial Kingdom to the demon realm - and there's even some dragons! Xingyin was a strong but flawed character and I enjoyed her journey. The writing is beautiful - as is the cover of the book! I have no idea what's in store for the second book, but I'll have to check it out!
