Kaiya's voice could charm a dragon.It's been two years since she put down a rebellion with the magic of the Dragon Scale Lute. With the instrument destroyed, her musical talents are inconsequential compared to her value as the last unmarried child of the ailing emperor.Potential suitors see her as a stepping stone. One ruthless cousin would rather step on her gravestone. Not one to get walked over or buried, Kaiya is holding out for the exiled foreign prince who inspired her to sing. The only one who appreciates her abilities more is the world's last dragon, Avarax, and it's not because he enjoys a good song.Conspiracies eat away at the empire from the inside, while aggressive neighbors wait to consume what's left. Raw and unproven, Kaiya faces tasks worthy of an imperial princess: defuse escalating conflicts between rival lords. Negotiate peace with foreign powers. Vanquish a dragon.The magic of her voice is untrained. However, as crisis jolts her from a pampered palace life into an adventure of court intrigue and international diplomacy, Kaiya finds mentors in unlikely places. An elf courtier. An ancient healer. A martial arts master. And an evil sorcerer. She'll need their guidance to survive the final showdown between a girl finding her voice, and a dragon who has no intention of being fooled a second time.

The saying goes that the first book in a major fantasy series is normally the worst because it has to set the stage. I was brutal in my review of the first and I had my issues with it, but the author accepted my review and offered a copy of the second book in hopes that everything the first book worked up to would be worth the time I spent reading and I would enjoy it.
And I honestly was blown away by how marvelously everything came together for this book.
Complaints I had from the first book were swiftly silenced with the second. The development I wanted and answers to loose ends left me overwhelmingly satisfied and happy to read more. This book managed to catch me off guard, prove my predictions wrong, make me smile, feel the stress the characters were feeling, and made me happy I read it. It is boiling over with conspiracy and people with their own motives to take the throne. Secret deals and backstabbing galore with a new twist at every corner.
Our two main leads have developed into addicting characters who balance each other well. I made mention that their habits were kinda annoying to constantly read (hair twirling and lip biting for examples), however, I was greatly amused that they noticed each other's constant habits and mentally make fun of it in a way. The supporting cast is one that I could not imagine I would have adored so much. How every character is placed in the plot just keeps propelling it forward at a good pace. Yes, it is a bit to keep track of (especially if you are unfamiliar with Asian naming practices, Chinese in this case I believe) so I highly recommend printing out the character guide provided from the ebook version or bookmarking in physical copies to refer to if you get lost.
I immensely enjoyed the fact that we got to see more of the world JC Kang has created and I look forward to seeing more in the future installments.
Overall if you enjoyed the first book (or stuck with it in hopes the sequel will bring it together), you will not be disappointed. (
