Stronger Than a Bronze Dragon | Mary Fan
6 posts | 12 read | 19 to read
Liang Anlei wants a life of glory and revenge As a warrior who protects her village from shadow spirits, Anlei has never been beyond the borders of her town. All of that changes the day the viceroy and his fleet of mechanical dragons arrives. Its the protection her village is desperate for, but it will only be given in exchange for Anleis hand in marriage. Torn between wanting to protect her village and her own freedom, Anlei is forced to make a sacrifice. The day before her wedding, she encounters Tai, a young thief who is also trying to save his people. Tempted by his quest and the thrill of glory it promises, the two embark on an epic journey to the Courts of Hell to discover where the shadow spirits come from. But the secret of their existence isnt so easily solved. Amid dark experiments and battles on magic-fueled airships, Anlei must summon the courage to be the hero; to live the life she has always dreamed of.

I enjoyed Mary Fan‘s STaBD a lot. The setting is a fun mishmash of genre, so that exploring it was familiar but always fun. Anlei makes for a great main character. Mary Fan builds in a lot of good twists, some great action sequences. She also does an excellent job adding layers to her characters. I found Tai annoying, but he‘s kind of supposed to be annoying. I enjoyed the complexity to his character, though. #audiobook #MaryFan #YAFantasy

Been listening to Mary Fan‘s book Stronger Than a Bronze Dragon while walking Wicket in the park this week, and I‘ve been loving it. It‘s got a kickass protagonist with a sword, flying mechanical dragons, deadly shadows/ghosts(?) and cyborgs. I‘m going to be profoundly sad once I‘ve finished this story while waiting for the next. #YA #fantasy #steampunk #MaryFan #DogsOfLitsy

#CurrentlyReading !! I‘m 174 pages into Stronger than a Bronze Dragon and quite enjoying it. Need a bit more explanation when it comes to the magic system & world building. So hoping that improves, but otherwise enjoying it!

I‘m reading this for the Breastplate: Read a shiny book challenge of MedievalAThon 😁😁 #medievalathon

"So here we are, a pair of renegades who have managed to earn the disapproval of just about everyone."
"At least we approve of each other."
He widens his eyes in an exaggerated expression of surprise. "Did you just say you approve of me?"
I grin despite myself. "Don't let it get to your head."
"Too late, it already has."

The banter in this book is on point. Kai is a gem and I love him.
