The Last Dragon of the East by Katrina Kwan
5.0
When our eyes connect, however brief the moment might be, I swear I can see it—the lifetimes upon lifetimes of wisdom, of wandering . . . And pain.
I’m not sure where to start?
It feels like Heaven. She feels like Heaven.
This was such an amazing story.
For centuries, the dragons lived their lives in peace and prosperity.
And then a stranger arrived from the lands beyond the horizon.
This was a book about star-crossed lovers. About life and death, hope and when all hope has been lost. This book was about rebirth and adventure, struggle and agony, heartbreak and exhaustion.
I know this soul, though I can’t explain how. I’m whole and complete and home.
This book made you want to reach in and pat each character on the head, some harder than others lmao. Sai and Jyn were just perfect. I thought Sai was this little tea maker but he sacrificed and went through hell for those he loved. He was so strong but so loving. Jyn was such a tortured soul, that poor thing. I won’t say much about her struggle because SpOiLeRs but my fragile heart was breaking for her.
“Please,” I rasp. “I think you’re my Fated One.”
“I know I am,” she says. Her green eyes are cold. “Now leave me the fuck alone.”
I also love how this was kinda NA, not YA, because most of the Asian mythology books I’ve read have been YA and I’d love to read more NA or adult!
I won’t do her the injustice of comparing her beauty to the stars, for she is far more radiant than anything in the Heavens, the earth, and the spaces.
Thank you to Simon and Schuster Canada, Netgalley, and the author for this ARC!
Sai.
Hello, my love.
