Why read it?
1 author picked The Last Dragon of the East as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I have always been enamored by Chinese ‘soul mates’ folklore: the red threads of fate. Kwan deftly uses this mythology in this book to weave a deeply romantic and adventurous tale. Sai, our 25-year-old protagonist, is such a charmingly likable main character, and I found myself completely captivated by his quest to find the last dragon—and his one true love.
From Keshe's list on fantasy that features Chinese dragons.
