The Last Dragon of the East is a fast paced, bittersweet crossover tale about a young man seeking a cure for his mother and finding much more than that.
I really loved Sai and very much enjoyed reading this from his point of view. His ability to see the red string of fate on others (and his own gray string) had me very intrigued. Sai's journey throughout this book was very surprising. At first I thought this story was going to be much more on the cozy side, but was pleasantly (well, sort of) surprised by the darker turns in Sai's quest. The highs were high and the lows were sub-level.
While I did enjoy all the characters I wish this book was more rounded out. I wanted to know more about Jyn, all the dragons, Feng, and even the Emperor. I would have also loved more about their world and even greater details about the fei and other creatures encountered. Though I can understand why it was not included since the story was restricted to Sai's point of view.
Overall I loved reading this story about Sai and his Fated One even if it broke my heart and mended it a bit in the end.
