My appreciation to Quill Tree Books/HarperCollins for sending me a complimentary copy through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. This doesn’t affect my thoughts about the book in any way. 

For the readers who loved A Bright Heart and Jade Fire Gold comes this YA, mlm fantasy standalone that is a retelling of the ancient short-story Huang Jiulang or “Cut Sleeve”, originally published in the Qing Dynasty (mid-1600s). A BIPOC author has once again given us a story worth reading! 

Legend of The White Snake is Sher Lee’s fantasy debut that follows the timeless beauty of Ancient China. The elegant storytelling narrates a fond tale of unconditional love and devotion between a prince and a snake spirit mixed with court politics, treachery, and unexpected twists leading to a very hopeful finale. Out in shelves on October 15, 2024!
