The Last Tiger by Brad Riew, Julia Riew

adventurous hopeful mysterious medium-paced

4.5

This was a beautiful fantasy being based on the author's Grandparent's love story through an awful time of Japanese rule over Korea. It's portrayed as a Dragon ruled land and suppressing the Tiger people. 

This is also a rich girl (Eunji), poor boy (Seung) story. Seung is a servant in the household of Eunji. In exchange for her helping him study for a test to get ki (powers) that he couldn't otherwise afford, Seung promises to help show her a life outside her current existence. 

These two battle for finding the Last Tiger. Seung wants to save his family from ruin and Eunji pretty much for the same reason. Their journeys are separate until it forces them to work together. Seung holds a secret though and he's more powerful than he realizes.

This was an adventure to bring back a world without divide. It was an easy read but beautiful in the telling.
