Review of Lilia Zhang, "The Fish Who Dreamt of Dragons," Luna Station Quarterly 57 (2024): 156-175 -- Purchase online. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
Xinyue is the last member of the Crescent Moon sect -- more than that, she is the Crescent Moon sect -- and while other warriors discount her at first, her prowess earns her fame as she travels the world. When a fisher village is beset by a deadly spirit, Xinyue meets Wanyue and takes on her first disciple. Xinyue and Wanyue then travel together, until Xinyue's fame catches the attention of the emperor and fate catches up with her -- a fate that only Wanyue can rescue her from.
I don't get to read much Wuxia in English -- so I really enjoyed this!
