Honestly, this  was a great read, a page turner, that when I finished the book, I was kinda of sad... but oh yah, there's fire and blood. The book I bave heard that is a dry textbook, etc.. I went and bought it, and i love it so far. For me, THE RISE OF THE DRAGON is 5/5⭐️

I loved the artwork. This book contains the same as Fire and Blood -- the same story and same information with no changes.
