The Epic Crush of Genie Lo by F. C. Yee
Rating:
This book is loads of fun, action and crazy shenanigans! Genie Lo is a young woman with a bit of a temper and an overachiever that is dedicated to trying to get into an Ivy league university. She is even using her height advantage to totally get a win in volleyball.
But when the yaoguai of lore suddenly aren’t lore anymore and seem to be hellbent on causing mayhem for Genie, what is she to do? Add on top of that the gorgeous new student, Quentin Sun, who is adamant that Genie has to help him sort this weirdness as it is part of her destiny.
Best part is that Quentin isn’t just a student, but actually Sun Wukong, the Monkey King.
Look, I throughly enjoyed this book, the pacing is great and you get both action and quieter moments, plus a lot of humour There were many times when I just giggled thorugh it or laughed out loud to something going on, but I was also concerned. The chemistry of Quentin and Genie is brilliant and their at odds view of the world also was amusing.
And the lore, it’s very well woven into this story.
Honestly, everyone who has been a student, dreamt of being one, and or likes lore, should read this book. It pack s agreat punch!
