starlitlullaby 's review for:

Of Jade and Dragons by Amber Chen

4.0

---

initial reaction:
- hate or love the characters, this is a damned good story
- ending is bit rushed but who cares, see first point
- yeyang carried the beginning, yekan carried at the end. everyone else other than ying has little to no personality but who cares, see first point
- love the world-building, the steampunkness of it all
- has better incorporated murder mystery than ADADT; in fact Chen actually tries to keep it relevant throughout
-

Spoiler

I DESPERATELY NEED A YING CORRUPTION ARC, DESPERATELY.

- favourite western-published asian fantasy of the year for me, probably
