I started The Last Dragon of the East by Katrina Kwan

I have started The Last Dragon of the East by Katrina Kwan.

While Romantasy is not my typical cup of tea, I recently noted that the sub-genre is often wedded to Asian-inspired Fantasy and that I have a special fondness for those featuring the Red Thread of Fate. Hence how I could I resist a book where the Red Thread is a key element, features a bold quest for a lost Dragon amidst a terrible war, and was highly recommended to me by my sister? Spoilers, I did not. And while this single-standing book may be tiny compared to the series I am used to, the same could be said for Axie Oh's The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea which introduced me to both Asian-inspired Fantasy and the Red Thread, so I am fully expecting a wild ride and beautifully unique fantasy.

Luck to you, Sai, for I have a feeling your greying, fraying thread may lead you better than any map to this Dragon. (And my Dragon-related instincts are usually good.)
