30 Days Book Challenge
Day 27: The most surprising plot twist or ending

Given that some of my favorite genre were adventure, mystery, and thriller, the number of books I could mention to answer this challenge is immense. Which is why, I’d pick a book that shouldn’t be able to surprise me much, yet it did so anyway with such ease and originality. Lost You Forever by Tong Hua was one of my favorite character driven high fantasy. (She is the writer of the famous original novel Scarlet Heart, by the way.) At a glance, it seemed like the usual dramatic reverse harem romance. But the deep insight gleaned from each lead’s life elevated this into something much greater. And I’m yet to find a bigger-than-life character as compelling and well written as the nine-headed demon Xiang Liu.
