Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: Kee certainly gets her chance to cook quite a few different species, and Sarnai at least manages to wound the great flying dragon she’s after, but both of them find something they needed more: companionship.
Narration and dialogue are flawless.
The setting is an unusual one: a secondary world with Chinese characteristics. It could be fun to read more stories in the same setting..
Con: The story ends just when it’s starting to get interesting.
