About this audiobook
Hou Yi the Archer is tired, and knows she's past her prime.
They would both rather just be retired, but that's not what the world has ready for them.
When deadly sunbirds begin to ravage the countryside, threatening everything they've both grown to love, the two must join forces. Now blessed and burdened with the hindsight of middle age, they begin a quest that's a reckoning of sacrifices made and mistakes mourned, of choices and family, and the quest for immortality.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Love the mixing of European and Asian mythologies here.
Also the discussion of character morality is fun. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It took time to get into the story. It starts slow and the narrator’s voice had more of a gravely voice than I’m used to. I will also say at some points the story seemed a bit melodramatic, however, by part 2 the story’s pace picked up, the complexity of the characters was revealed, and the ingenuity of this world began to unfold. So glad I stayed till the end.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5One star because I could not give less!
