The Dragon Egg Princess by Ellen Oh

2.0

Either I am not used to reading children's books, or this was written by an AI. Really nothing about this book made sense-- the plot stopped and started, the characters entered and exited suddenly and none of them really seemed to matter much, and the development of Koko's magic flared to life when it was convenient. Also, the intensity and honestly graphic nature of the plot did not match up with the vocab/reading level of the writing. The fighting scenes were kind of gratuitous which I didn't expect. The humor was stilted and mostly centered around Jiho not understanding the jokes and idioms of other cultures, which at best is a cop out for humorous content. The one redeeming quality was the worldbuilding/premise, which is incredibly unique and has a mythological feel.
