This book was amazing! It was such a fast read. The combination of Chinese history, sci-fi elements and puns made me turn one page after another. It was truly hard to put this book down. Eventhough it's a middle grade book it got me to reflect upon so many things, such as heroes also being villains. I can't wait to read more about Zachary's story!
