ARC Review: Tales of the Celestial Kingdom by Sue Lynn Tan

Published on February 22, 2024February 19, 2024 by Celeste2 Comments

Today’s review is about TALES OF THE CELESTIAL KINGDOM by Sue Lynn Tan. It’s a compilation of short stories, from familiar characters, that occur before, during, and after the Celestial Kingdom duology. They offer insights into what these characters were up to behind the scenes. I recommend reading the duology beforehand since there are spoilers.
