Legend of the White Snake

De: Sher Lee

Narrado por: David Lee Huynh, Andrew Grace

A snake spirit transforms into a boy and must hide his true identity after falling for a headstrong prince in this lush, romantic retelling of the traditional Chinese folktale.

When Prince Xian was a boy, a white snake bit his mother and condemned her to a slow, painful death. The only known cure is an elusive spirit pearl—or an antidote created from the rare white snake itself. Desperate and determined, Xian travels to the city of Changle, where an oracle predicted he would find and capture a white snake.

Seven years ago, Zhen, a white snake in the West Lake, consumed a coveted spirit pearl, which gave him special powers—including the ability to change into human form.

In Changle, Xian encounters an enigmatic but beautiful stable boy named Zhen. The two are immediately drawn to each other, but Zhen soon realizes that he is the white snake Xian is hunting. As their feelings grow deeper, will the truth about Zhen’s identity tear them apart?

The Rommace

The romance was less slow burn then i expected but it was really cute and very sweet the banter was fun as well

It was so heartbreaking and beautiful

So good didn’t see the ending coming,was amazing. Loved every second of it. It made me cry sad and happy tears.

Fire book

Started a lil slow ig but that last half was intense and some of the best I’ve listened to. Kept me super engaged

Beautiful.

I had been looking for a book like this for quite some time! I enjoyed every bit of it—Zhen and Xian’s friendship and fast attraction; the love between found family; and the grief. It was so very beautiful.

Love love LOVED this story!

I really loved this story. It had me gripped from the moment I started reading it. The story had an easy flow, and it had such a good plot twist near the end! I found myself falling in love with these characters, and enjoying and relating to their internal struggles. I was moved to tears at the end of the book and highly recommend giving it a read or a listen

Short and Sweet

I liked it. It was simple and cute. The pacing felt a little off for me and the story was overall cliche and predictable in my opinion, but for a simple ya queer romance, it served its purpose. Probably won’t listen to it again tho. 3/5

This was very YA

I think that were I still in early high school I would have loved this book, but the writing, plot, suspense, and romance were all very simple. I thought in the beginning that maybe I just didn't like the narration, but even switching to a print copy didn't make it much better. It just wasn't for me.
