mantaman0a 's review for:
Throne of Jade
by Naomi Novik
The most jarring thing about this book is: WHY ARE THE CHINESE DRAGONS SHAPED LIKE WESTERN ONES??
Also: why is there YU SHENG in this period?? Bruhhhhhhhh
Still a good read, but choosing to set this story in CHINA, a civilisation with its own extensive storied draconic histories and iconographies, makes it hard for Novik to write a convincing story for this Chinese reader.
But i guess all these details would work well enough for a western audience with a vague idea of "China"
