I think this book is one of the best books I have ever read. This book is about an emperor that is trying to become immortal and in doing that kidnaps Pinmei's grandmother, Amah, so Pinmei and her friend Yishan go to save her. Along the way, they meet new friends, make enemies, and test their friendship. My favorite thing about this book is the way it is written. Throughout the book, there are stories to tell about the past and how that is connected to what is happening in the present. I would totally recommend this book to anyone that likes adventure and an amazing plot.

11 out of 10 book. A great climax is exciting and not boring. I love how the storyline actually makes sense. It will let you connect to Chinese culture, and spread out. I think you should read the other books like, "The stary river" and "Where the mountain meets the moon.

This is such a great book! The climax is so exciting and I just love the author of this book, her other books are also really good like "Where the Mountain Meets the Moon" and "Starry River of the Sky". You should absolutely 100% read this book! This book is full of Chinese Folklore and Mythology and I just can't put it down! I like how it uses mythology to shape this book into a masterpiece, Its plot is very interesting and I recommend it to everyone!

This is a very exciting book, and it is filled with detailed stories. Two children, Pinmei and Yishan, journey far away to a kingdom ruled by a madman emperor. They set out to save Pinmei's grandmother and save china from the immortality obsessed emperor. This book was nice because it had many things at the beginning of the story that seemed to be loose ends. But, in the end, everything in the book made sense. One of the reasons I didn't like this book was because one of the characters had a storyline that didn't complete. I didn't get a clear picture of what happened to her, just little pieces. Overall, this book was really good, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who is interested in Chinese mythology, or thrilling stories.

100 out of 10 books. I love that the climax because it has a lot of suspense and excitement. The ending is nice and not a cliff hanger. Plus the storyline actually makes sense. It is about an emperor that wants to take over everything, luckily there are 2 kids that want to save their grandmother, read the book to know more! Also, read the sequels.
