- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.5
Representation:
- Asian-inspired MC and SCs
- non-binary SC
- queer polyamorous SC (as in, a one-liner character. but still)
For it being a short book, a lot happens? But also doesn't? I'm not really sure how to explain it, but the pace throughout seemed a little off to me. And the ending just seemed a bit rushed, too. That aside, however, I really enjoyed Dragon Pearl and wished it was part of a series, so we could get more adventures with Min and her friends! It's a cute book, and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes MG SFF and/or Korean mythology.
Moderate: Death
Minor: Gun violence and Violence
