The Scorpion and the Night Blossom by Amélie Wen Zhao is the first book in The Three Realms Series. This is Àn’yīng and Yù‘chén‘s story.   And let me tell you I’m obsessed with this romantasy. It’s set in a world that was invaded by mó aka demons and the protagonist Àn’yīng fights them and she’s trying to save her mother who is very ill. The heroine was stabby, fearless, badass and just overall absolutely amazing. I loved her spirit and willpower and I wish I had a bit more of that.   One day she comes across Yù‘chén who is half mortal and half mó which means he is something unique but rather seen as an abomination. Àn’yīng hates all demons, so naturally she also hates Yù‘chén. But is so charming and confident and my favorite part was how he calls her little scorpion, and I was swooning each time.   I loved how they started an unlikely alliance, and they worked together so well. Àn’yīng also enters the deadly Immortality Trials and this might be her only chance to save her mother and she’s working extra hard. This was so gripping, and this book just sucked me in and I read it in one sitting. The combination of a thrilling plot, amazing characters and a dash of romance was just absolute perfection.   The Scorpion and the Night Blossom is a new favorite fantasy read and I’m completely in love with this book and already beyond excited for the next book. 5 stars.   (Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an arc.)
