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.

From Keshe's list on fantasy that features Chinese dragons.
