The war between the Kingdom of Night and the Kingdom of Rivers tore the mortal realm apart. Now it is an increasingly dangerous place, falling into eternal night where ravenous demons roam and every day is a fight for survival...The Immortality Trials offer a second chance in this brutal world and are open to any mortal willing to risk the journey to the immortal realm. The prize for completing them is eternal life...However, first they must survive.Àn'y¿ng knows the prize can heal her dying mother and that she'll need all the help she can get if she's to complete them.But when a rival contestant, both powerful and handsome, promises protection and a chance of survival for both Àn'y¿ng and her mother, she will need to find out quickly whether she can truly trust the stranger she's falling for or if he's the most dangerous player of all ... for herself and for all the realms.

Mein erstes Fantasy Buch mit chinesischer Mythologie und es war fabelhaft! Wundervoll magisch! Tolle bildhafte Welt, schöne Romantasy und politischer Plot! Sehr empfehlenswert und ich bin sehr gespannt auf den zweiten Teil! Ich werde auf jeden Fall noch mehr von der Autorin lesen!🥰 Welt: 5⭐️ Politik: 4⭐️ Romantasy: 5⭐️ Spice: 0 (YA, also kein 🌶️)

Ein tolles Buch. Es war das erste Buch das ich von dieser Autorin gelesen habe und ihr Schreibstyl gefällt mir sehr gut. Nicht kompliziert und man kommt sehr leicht und einfach durch das Buch. Dass die Geschichte auf der chinesischen Mythology aufgabaut ist, hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Yuchens Geschichte hatte ich mir so gedacht wie es gekommen ist aber Anyngs Geschichte hatte ich überhaupt nicht erwartet. Im großen und ganzen hat mir die Geschichte sehr gut gefallen. Ich bin gespannt auf das nächste Buch

This is for the cdrama girlies." That's me. I have become a cdrama girly. I have also read up about Xianxia (to sum up stories where the MC strives to seek immortality) and I want more of this. This story is quite complex without overwhelming the reader, and it's more dark and adult than the author's previous dilogy. There are trials - a trope which I've grown a bit tired of - that are quite intense. There's a clear motive for the FMC, and an interesting romance blossoming. What I liked most about it though is the dive into the question of "What is a monster? What makes a human?"
What I didn't like so much is that the author - as in her previous series - writes much better male characters than female protagonists. There's a chance you will end up annoyed with the FMC and in love with the MMC. This makes me a bit sad, because I want to root for the FMC as well. Overall I felt well entertained with some ups and downs. Cdrama for the win! 4/5 stars Thank you @netgalley and @harpercollins for the eARC! #TheScorpionAndTheNightBlossom #Netgalley #Bookstagram
