4.8 Stars !!!!
I truly enjoyed the beautiful story that Amber Chen gave us with "Of Jade and Dragons"
After doing some research (followed her on instagram) I learned that her novel was inspired by true events that happened during the Ming and Qing Dynasty and that both FMC and MMC are based on real people!!
Even though we did not see a lot of interaction between Ying and Ye-yang the little sweet moments that we did get from them was enough for me to fall in love with their relationship & for me to root for their happy ending. With that being said, I'm hoping and praying Ying overcomes her "dad issues" in the second novel because WHY !!!!!??? (That's all I can say without giving spoilers)
The plot and imagery was great! I will say that it starts a bit slow but then it picks up and you end up reading until 3am.
I also do not read many Sci-Fi Fantasy books so I was very surprised in how I really enjoyed the technology development part of the plot. it was very easy to follow and very intriguing. Did I also mention that the technology prototypes are inspired from actual weaponry design from the Ming Dynasty.
Lastly if you enjoy Mulan Vibes, History, weaponry, technology advancements and C-dramas you will enjoy "Of Jade and Dragons" !
Now I will go and watch all the C-dramas that are inspired by Ming and Qin Dynasty to get my fill until I wait for the announcement of book two.
Must Read for sure. ADD IT TO YOUR TBR RIGHT NOW!
p.s. Thank you Netgally and Amber Chen for allow me to read the ARC !!
