2 posts | 2 read

From the bestselling author of Daughters of the Dragon comes the story of one of the most extraordinary queens in history.As tensions rise on the Korean peninsula, US diplomat Nate Simon is sent to Seoul to gauge the political situation and advise the president. He also needs to find out why someone sent the president an ancient, intricately carved comb with an ivory inlay of a two-headed dragon. Though familiar with Korea's language and culture, Nate knows little of its troubled history. Beautiful and mysterious embassy aide Anna Carlson believes it's time he learns, starting with the extraordinary story of Korea's last queen.Seoul, 1866. The beautiful orphan Ja-young is chosen to be the child bride of Gojong, Korea's boy king. Highly intelligent but shy, Ja-young faces a choice: she can be a stone queen--silent and submissive--or she can be a dragon queen and oppose enemies and empires that try to rule Korea during the age of imperialism. Her choice leads her to forge a legend that will endure far beyond her lifetime.The more Nate discovers, the more he comes to realize that Queen Min's story is still relevant today. Now the choice is up to him: be submissive and accepting...or change the world.

This is the second book in The Dragon Series. I didn't read the first book but it was not needed, a great novel on its own. Can't wait to read the other two.

Dragon Queen | William Andrews

I hate this to be my first sentence, but we have some serious #coverlove here!! And so far, I am liking the story too - I'm about halfway in. The present times parts are odd but unintrusive, and the story mostly centers around the #historical parts - about a 19th century Korean queen. Very interesting.

Live_to_read I just finished the book and agree the present day chapter really broke the flow of the book. The historical portion of the book was very interesting and I discovered a bit about Korean history. 6y

avalinah @Live_to_read agreed! Well, I guess it was still an interesting format of the book. 6y

Live_to_read The second book in the series is Daughters of the Dragon. This one is set in the WWII era. 6y

avalinah @Live_to_read I still have a review copy of that, since it came our first. But I haven't been able to bring myself to read it because it's a painful topic (the comfort women). 6y
