From the British Fantasy Society:
New Yorker Amélie Wen Zhao tells us about the sequel to The Scorpion and the Night Blossom—something for those who loves fantasy, romance, and magic—which is out this week through HarperCollins!

I review on my reading blog Love Between Fairy and Devil (Novel) Vol. 2 by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang. The story concludes here and it's a good ending. The author really made Dongfang Qingcang work for the HEA.

Netflix's pool of c-dramas is pretty small, and it looks like I've reached the bottom for my favourite genre. Does anyone have tips for Mandarin language shows/movies available somewhere else? Preferably fantasy with English subtitles since I'm at highschool yr1 level.
Another day, another Yin Yang master. Two movies that are au-s to each other. Took me a while to dig up that they're both based on the Onmyoji novel series - which explains A Lot. Dream of Eternity is my favourite, but "The Yin Yang Master" has more fun creatures. Anyway, since my main criteria for good films are 'dragons and/or explosions' I can only say 'Holy sh*t! TWO cakes!' and enjoy.
On one hand I want to rewrite the ending of The Yin-Yang Master: Dream Of Eternity. OTH the ending is beautiful. If you haven't the movie yet you should!
If the server allows I'll live tweet The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity (on Netflix). It's under fold to save you from spoilers and my occasional sarcasm - though I'll reign it in since this is not A Bad Viking Movie.
So, I found 'Love Between Fairy and Devil' on Netflix a few days ago. Twelve episodes were uploaded before the entire thing disappeared again. Does anyone here know if I can find it somewhere else with English subtitles? It's was quite fun, and I'm hooked.
