the fact that Xingyin has a constants struggle between her choices whether it be the occasional thought of giving up helping her mum or it be her not wanting to entirely let Liwei go all come down to her own want and im glad that she isn't selfless and actually thinks of her needs. she has qualities that makes her realistic (?) i guess. its impossible for someone to be entirely selfless even if they have a strong motive to help someone else and i feel like this is shown in her.
i did not expect that from Wenzhi. I THOUGHT HE COULD BE TRUSTED...
so glad she helped the dragons..
if i reread the book (i probably will) i wont be able to look at Wenzhi the same... i know for sure im going to despise his character from the get go i when i read it again.

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 across the earth and skies. 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, romantic duology which weaves ancient Chinese mythology into a sweeping adventure of immortals and magic—where love vies with honor, dreams are fraught with betrayal, and hope emerges triumphant.
