Why read it?
1 author picked Song of Silver, Flame Like Night as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Amélie Wen Zhao’s prose is absolutely magical, with intricately layered worldbuilding and beautifully wrought imagery. I absolutely loved the dynamic between the main characters, and the dual points-of-view just added to the fun.
In this young adult fantasy, Lan, a songgirl with a secret past, and Zen, the surly magician who discovers her, must go on a quest to save their kingdom. Drawing inspiration from the ancient Chinese myth of the Four Guardians—the dragon, the tiger, the tortoise, and the bird—this story captivated me from the first sentence.
From Keshe's list on fantasy that features Chinese dragons.
