Fairly easy to get through, but honestly didn't live this as much as I thought I would - even with libraries, magic and alternate universes. I guess a lot of it just came off as flat? I really don't feel anything for the main character, and the way Kai is written/described I just find pretty confusing
also I really feel like the whole dragon thing came out of nowhere, and then wasn't really a major thing for the story/plot until it was useful?
Also: "diversity" was a ? as the way Kai was originally described just give me peak basic white boy character energy, and then there were two throwaway comments about him looking like he could be from Shanghai, so...?
