"An exhilarating tale. . . Readers will be enthralled." —J.C. Cervantes, New York Times bestselling author of The Storm Runner
A debut novel inspired by Chinese mythology, this middle-grade fantasy follows an outcast as she embarks on a quest to save the world from demons—perfect for fans of Aru Shah and the End of Time and The Serpent’s Secret.
As a member of the Jade Society, twelve-year-old Faryn Liu dreams of honoring her family and the gods by becoming a warrior. But the Society has shunned Faryn and her brother Alex ever since their father disappeared years ago, forcing them to train in secret.
Then, during an errand into San Francisco, Faryn stumbles into a battle with a demon—and helps defeat it. She just might be the fabled Heaven Breaker, a powerful warrior meant to work for the all-mighty deity, the Jade Emperor, by commanding an army of dragons to defeat the demons. That is, if she can prove her worth and find the island of the immortals before the Lunar New Year.
With Alex and other unlikely allies at her side, Faryn sets off on a daring quest across Chinatowns. But becoming the Heaven Breaker will require more sacrifices than she first realized. . . What will Faryn be willing to give up to claim her destiny?
This richly woven contemporary middle-grade fantasy debut, full of humor, magic, and heart, will appeal to those who love Roshani Chokshi and Sayantani DasGupta.©2019 Katie Zhao (P)2019 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc

Despite their not being accepted, their grandfather trains them both in secret, which comes in handy on the night that Faryn snuck out to get her grandfather's medicine on the first night of the Chinese New Year celebration and ends up helping a god kill a yogai demon. As a result, she may be the legendary Heaven Breaker, who is the great warrior that will lead the Jade Emperor's army into battle. But, before she can fully claim the title, she must prove her worth. Her brother and her former best friend/current enemy join her on her quest.
I am definitely enjoying being able to read more books with non-European pantheons of gods and goddesses. This book also does a wonderful job of pulling in a lot of the Chinese culture, centered as it is around the Chinese New Year. From the ceremonies to the parties, the characters talk about and worship the gods, and that worldbuilding provided a wonderful backdrop for the story.
The characters were also well-written. While the side characters tended to fall more into stereotypical categories, that is a function of the length of the book and age range of the audience than the ability of the author, because the main characters were more fully developed. They had motivations and desires, had disagreements with each other, and supported each other. The relationships are what made the ending so hard to read. I will definitely be reading the sequel after that ending.
For this book, I also had the chance to listen to the audiobook, which I definitely appreciated. I know that I would have had trouble with the pronunciation of the names had I read it on my own. Now that I have heard the different names pronounced, I can read it and feel confident about my pronunciation. The audiobook was narrated by Siu-see Hung, and she did a great job. I would definitely listen to her narrate the sequel if I have that opportunity.
If you like fantasy, middle-grade books, strong families, strong female protagonists, and crazy quests made crazier by the influence of the gods, then you will most likely enjoy this book. If so, you should definitely read it.
A fantastic quest and story
