ladymair 's review for:
The Tainted Khan
by Taran Matharu
This book continues off from the ending of Dragon Rider and what a ride this book was
While it was slow to start this almost worked in its favour as it builds in the differing cultures and Jai’s feelings toward not knowing his own people.
I loved the glimpse into the Steppefolk and the way they are vastly different from the main culture in book 1, but they are complicated and not as they were painted to be from the eyes of the sabines.
Jai as a character really grew on me. I loved his journey here how he really came into his own.
There were parts that were predictable but in a way an old family book might be, I knew the point the characters would get to but not the path they’d take to get there.
The magic system was explored a lot more here (for the better) and I loved learning about it, learning more about dragons and the like and how mana works. Fascinating! Probably some of the best parts of the book for me
This book doesn’t shy away from making you as the reader uncomfortable. In part because of how the tribes work but also because it brings into question the morality of some choices.
Highly highly recommended if anyone is a dragon lover
