Publisher's Summary

In the Celestial Empire, a land ruled by Immortals and stalked by Spirits and Beasts, a young girl from the slums of an unimportant city is found to have the Talent that may allow her to become an Immortal herself.

Sent to the storied Argent Peak Sect to harness her talent, she must work desperately to catch up to peers who have been preparing to walk the Way for years. The Sect grants new students only three months to prepare and grow before the true challenges begin and the disciples are freed to battle each other for resources and strength.

Contending with tests, strange teachers, unfriendly peers, and her own ignorance, Ling Qi must not only defeat many obstacles, but find those willing to stand at her side when the truce ends.

Can she learn to not only survive, but thrive on that journey?

Inspired by ancient folklore, modern martial arts, and Xianxia, this fantasy novel offers a mixture of life and action while developing a world both fantastic in setting yet familiar in the humanity of its inhabitants.

Enjoyable

I picked this book by chance when it came across my recommendation feed. So far I find myself enjoying the story, though I can admit it might not be for everyone. I love the different characters and the political intrigue. I also like the magic system, which is rich and complex. That being said a large portion of this book finds our character in cultivation. In many ways this is an extended training arc, which is not everyone’s cup of tea. I didn’t mind but some people might find it repetitive. That being said, I’m giving this a pretty high review because bottom line, this is my review and I found it enjoyable.

First taste was free

First volume was included with my audible membership. Then I had to buy more credits to get the rest, as I couldn't wait for a month to find out what happens next.

A fresh take on a stale genre

Like the title says, Yrsillar crafts a whole world to explore through the fresh eyes of Ling Qi. The evocative writing and brilliant narration combine to make Ling Qi's journey a magical thing.

If you liked the Cradle series by Will Wight, give these books a try.
