About this listen

The acclaimed national and international bestseller

“Epic, romantic, and enthralling from start to finish.”—Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Caraval series

“An all-consuming work of literary fantasy that is breathtaking both for its beauty and its suspense.""—BookPage, starred review

A captivating and romantic debut epic fantasy inspired by the legend of the Chinese moon goddess, Chang’e, in which a young woman’s quest to free her mother pits her against the most powerful immortal in the realm.

Growing up on the moon, Xingyin is accustomed to solitude, unaware that she is being hidden from the feared Celestial Emperor who exiled her mother for stealing his elixir of immortality. But when Xingyin’s magic flares and her existence is discovered, she is forced to flee her home, leaving her mother behind.

Alone, powerless, and afraid, she makes her way to the Celestial Kingdom, a land of wonder and secrets. Disguising her identity, she seizes an opportunity to learn alongside the emperor’s son, mastering archery and magic, even as passion flames between her and the prince.

To save her mother, Xingyin embarks on a perilous quest, confronting legendary creatures and vicious enemies. But when treachery looms and forbidden magic threatens the kingdom, she must challenge the ruthless Celestial Emperor for her dream—striking a dangerous bargain in which she is torn between losing all she loves or plunging the realm into chaos.

Daughter of the Moon Goddess begins an enchanting duology which weaves ancient Chinese mythology into a sweeping adventure of immortals and magic, of loss and sacrifice—where love vies with honor, dreams are fraught with betrayal, and hope emerges triumphant.

I loved this book, I'm almost at a loss for words because of how captivating it was. I forgot I was reading, it sent me into the world with such vivid images and detail constructed by the word. the narratoration was good. Its hard to encapsulate that many voices. It was a bit rougher in the beginning, but I found it got better as it went along.

Truly A Masterpiece

Bought this as part of an audible sale and wanted to listen for some “light listening”… but ended up really getting swept away by the story! Some great plot twists, strong female character, and mouthwatering food descriptions lol! Looking forward to the sequel. Highly recommend.

A very pleasant surprise!

I personally get the ICK from listening to female characters who are literally constantly pying for their love interest. This girl does not and paves her own road to success and happiness through a fairytale. It's worth a listen.
