IMMORTAL HB

Immortal is the newest Sue Lynn Tan book and ever since reading Daughter of the Moon Goddess, I’m excited to read everything from this author. This book is Liyen and Zhangwei’s story and it’s such a good enemies-to-lovers one.   Liyen is the heir of Tianxia and she does everything to protect her kingdom and to become a good ruler. I love strong female characters and Liyen totally is one and I found it super interesting how she got powers from a lotus flower. She is strong, intelligent, and durable. When she is summoned to the Immortal Realm, she forms an alliance with no other than the God of War Zhangwei himself and from their first meeting you can feel the sparks between them.   Zhangwei is a powerful and ruthless god, and a lot of people fear him. He is very misunderstood, and I loved discovering more of him with each page and he has such a loving and devoted side as well. His job is to annihilate Tianxia but he finds so much more in this book.   These two come from two completely different worlds and their relationship shouldn’t be but their chemistry is undeniably. The romance was rather slow but that only intensified the longing these characters had for each other, and they become each other’s everything. One of my favorite parts was how Zhangwei would do anything, even burning the whole world down to ensure Liyen happiness. I adored them together and it’s such a great romantasy. The only thing I have to say is that the beginning is a bit difficult to get into this story and I needed a good 100 pages to arrive in the story but then I absolutely loved it.   If you’re looking for a phenomenal romantasy enemies-to-lovers standalone, you need to check out Immortal. 4,5 stars.   (Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an arc.)
