Excellent book. Everything you expect from Martial Arts movies and shows in book form. The Dragon Scale powers are a simple, elegant system. Characters are multifaceted, keeping you guessing, very infused with believable psychology. The worldbuilding is excellent too. My only minor gripe is that you can’t help but envision the protagonist as Bruce Lee given Fonda Lee collaborated on this with Shannon Lee, Bruce Lee’s Daughter. It stands well on its own actually. Can’t wait for the sequel.
