Daughter of the Moon Goddess
by Sue Lynn Tan
DID NOT FINISH: 11%
The Chang'e legend was one of my favorites growing up, but I was wary of the protagonist potentially coasting on her "daughter of a literal legend" (or two, if you also count Houyi) status. And thus far this seems to be the case, with Xingyin repeatedly needing to be saved by other people even while she remains convinced that she has all the makings of a hero in her own right; unfortunately I can't say that I genuinely want her to succeed. I also have some issues with the fundamental worldbuilding (for example, the "daughter of a human-turned-immortal (and a human favored by the gods who was meant to become immortal) automatically becomes a celestial being" thing) and the writing style just isn't doing it for me.
