I really like following Jebi in this story. Their point of view as an artist just trying to get a job and ending up at the center of a revolution was really fun, and I loved the dragon. Most of my issues with this book come from not quiet getting the ending. I don't really know why it ended the way it did. It felt both too fantastical and somber at the same time which just didn't work for me. But I will still read anything Yoon Ha Lee puts out there because I love their imagination and even though I didn't love the ending I still had a great time reading this book.
