A review by amrsalehduat
Of Jade and Dragons by Amber Chen

5.0

Every once in a while a book will come that reinvigorates my love for fantasy. This is definitely one of these books. There isn’t a single thing I didn’t absolutely love about Of Jade & Dragons. From the characters to the world-building and the mystery that I didn’t expect but absolutely appreciated, Amber Chen’s debut captivated me from the first page. 

 

Where the book really shines for me is with Ying. She was—and I’m not exaggerating—the perfect protagonist. She is smart, strong-willed, and funny. I loved her motivations and her sense of morality and justice and simply couldn’t help but wish for her to succeed. 

 

Of Jade & Dragons is a fantastic debut by Amber Chen and I can’t recommend it enough. If you love fantasy, a school setting with dangerous trials and mystery, or you just want a story with incredible characters, do yourself a favor and read this book. I guarantee you it will be one of your favorite reads of the year.
