If She Who Became the Sun was the slow burn of destiny unfolding, He Who Drowned the World is the wildfire that consumes everything in its path. This book moved fast, every chapter brought new alliances, betrayals, and power plays. I never felt like the plot slowed down, and yet, it never felt rushed. Shelley Parker-Chan crafts a world where every choice cuts deep and every consequence carries weight. The emotional impact of this book hit harder than I expected. I was devastated by the losses, caught off guard by the twists, and haunted by the sacrifices. And somehow, amidst all that heartbreak, my love for Ouyang only grew stronger. His complexity, pain, and drive made him one of the most compelling characters I’ve read in a long time. The themes of ambition, identity, and revenge remain central, but this time they’re soaked in blood and grief. The story asks what it really costs to grasp power, and whether it’s ever truly worth it. There’s no happy ending here. But there’s truth, beauty, and devastation in every page. A stunning, brutal conclusion to the Radiant Emperor duology.

How does she not know everything yet? It’s been 10 years. I feel like she should have figured it out by now..?

A fantasy universe created by Sir Terry Pratchett, Discworld is a flat planet balanced on the backs of four elephants, which in turn stand on the back of a giant turtle. These are comedic novels that parody traditional fantasy tropes. All books can be read as standalones.

I picked up The Moth and the Knight based purely on the title and cover. I didn’t even glance at the blurb, and wow. I was not prepared. • The opening setting hooked me right away. Girls with their eyes shrouded? Yes, please. • The dark twists and eerie turns were exactly what I didn’t know I needed. Some were predictable, but others still caught me off guard. • I loved that the FMC wasn’t magically overpowered. Her growth felt real, earned through wit, skill, and grit. • And the romance? Slow burn, enemies to lovers. Chef’s kiss. • Also, gargoyle. That’s it. That’s the post. I’m in love. A dark, emotional fantasy with grit, heart, and just enough tenderness to break you in the best way.
