A well-written urban fantasy, brimming with unique world-building in Chinese culture and mythology. Carried by fun and relatable characters, it is an action packed read. ( ) A really great first book! I really loved how much it emphasized talking about Chinese history and culture. It was really neat! Although this was heavily influenced by "Yu-Gi-Oh!", I felt like I learned a lot more about the culture at the heart of the story than I did there. I also adore the cover art by Xiao Tong Kong, as ever. It's so gorgeous! While the inspiration for this is kind of obvious even outside the acknowledgements, despite the fact that I never got into "Yu-Gi-Oh!", despite multiple attempts, I honestly really enjoyed it, possibly in part because it is very similar to "Percy Jackson & the Olympians", and I love that story universe. The characters were wonderful, the magic system is cool, and the story universe is really compelling. I love Zack and am looking forward to learning more about him in book 2. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:Percy Jackson meets Tristan Strong in this hilarious middle grade "edge-of-your-seat adventure" (James Ponti, New York Times bestselling author of City Spies) that follows a young boy as he journeys across China to seal the underworld shut and save the mortal realm. Zachary Ying never had many opportunities to learn about his Chinese heritage. His single mom was busy enough making sure they got by, and his schools never taught anything except Western history and myths. So Zack is woefully unprepared when he discovers he was born to host the spirit of the First Emperor of China for a vital mission: sealing the leaking portal to the Chinese underworld before the upcoming Ghost Month blows it wide open. The mission takes an immediate wrong turn when the First Emperor botches his attempt to possess Zack's body and binds to Zack's AR gaming headset instead, leading to a battle where Zack's mom's soul gets taken by demons. Now, with one of history's most infamous tyrants yapping in his headset, Zack must journey across China to heist magical artifacts and defeat figures from history and myth, all while learning to wield the emperor's incredible water dragon powers. And if Zack can't finish the mission in time, the spirits of the underworld will flood into the mortal realm, and he could lose his mom forever. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
