Chinese Dragons

I found this to be another great addition to the series, addressing a historical period I was unfamiliar with (the Tang Dynasty period of ancient China) in an interesting way. Montgomery changes up his usual style and writes with a more dramatic, legendary tone. The book is slower-paced and more introspective, preferring to illustrate the way of life during the time and less concerned with rushing into action scenes. There's a lot of moral choices to make, but you never actually get to become a warrior, which felt like a missed opportunity. Other than that, this was a great book.
