Breath of the Dragon centers on a main character named Jun, whose flaws significantly impact those around him, not just himself. Jun is impulsive, and his self-centered nature often leads him into precarious situations that create conflict and tension in his relationships. Despite these shortcomings, there’s an undeniable quality about him that compelled me to keep reading.
The writing is exceptionally cinematic, making it hard to put the book down. The plot is well-rounded and adventurous, filled with twists and turns that kept me engaged. Some of the themes Breath of the Dragon explores are of redemption and the ominous beginnings of war, adding depth to the Jun's journey and the challenges he faces. Overall, it’s a captivating read that balances character development with an exciting narrative.
I highly recommend Breath of the Dragon to other fantasy readers.
