“What I am stressing the most is the dam ending”
Aihui Yang has always wanted to follow in her father's footsteps by becoming a member of the Engineers Guild. However, she has a big problem. Aihui is a female, which is a big no-no for the Engineers Guild since they only allowed men to enter the trials. And her father really doesn’t want her to enter anyway, either. Too bad that the Engineers Guild hasn’t forgotten about Aihui's father. They may or may not be involved with his father, which leaves Aihui enraged. She is more than ready to investigate her father's death by entering the Engineers Guild as her brother.
I have so many feelings regarding Jade and Dragons. What I am stressing the most is the dam ending. That was such a major cliffhanger. I feel so disarrayed. I don’t know what to do, but I know I have to freaking wait until the next book.
What I love so much about Aihui is her wiliness and determination to be herself. She never changed her values or learned from her father. She will always remain loyal to her father's teachings. It’s so touching yet heartbreaking because it creates a ripple effect in the end. I can’t wait to see how it plays out in the next book.
Do I think that everyone needs to read this book? Yes, I do. It’s freaking amazing and intense, which keeps you wanting more. It has so many elements at play. And don’t get me started on the endless secrets and betrayals along the way. It keeps you on the edge until the very end.
