I want to preface this with: when I finished A Night Ends With Fire, I had to put my e-reader down and calm myself, because I needed to process the injustice Meilin faced at the end of Book One.
I completely understand the need and the sheer sudden way things ended because of the time and the misogyny towards women in this timeline, and yet...
The Dragon Wakes With Thunder explores the dark and gritty much more than the first book. It gave us more information and delved into the usually hidden or barely explored themes, which really built and helped us understand and feel with Meilin, while throwing in plot twists and carrying on with the light romance that had been opened up.
I really enjoyed this book and kick myself for not getting to it earlier. If there is a third, I will be very pleased. If not, I can come to some sort of peace with Book Two.
