The conclusion to Ken Liu's chronicle of the Dandelion Dynasty – one of the Greatest Fantasy Series of all Time (Time Magazine).

Ukyu-Gondé. Stalked by foes and dogged by betrayal, Princess Théra is pursued across a continent vaster than she could ever have imagined, to the hidden valleys of the World's Edge Mountains, into the barrows and subterranean halls of the City of Ghosts, across the ice floes of the far north. She breached the Wall of Storms intent on taking war to the Lyucu homelands, but how do you conquer the unconquerable?

Amid atrocity and subterfuge, they will discover that the Courage of Brutes is no substitute for the Grace of Kings, and that little separates the Grace of Kings from the Madness of Tyrants.

On both sides of the Wall of Storms, defeat's bitter tears mix with the fruits of knowledge new and ancient as two empires bound by blood and bone, by writ and iron, by time and custom, face a whirlwind that threatens to utterly consume them.

The teeth, as they say, are on the board.

It too me a year to finish this near thousand-pager final installment of the Dandelion Dynasty tetralogy, and like in the Star Wars universe by the end I couldn't remember what all the past references referred to. So much like the cyclical repainting of the Golden Gate Bridge I probably need to start over, but going back four thousand pages might require longevity treatments, so I'll wait for the screen adaptation. Seriously, it would be great if this series got the Game of Thrones treatment, but this would have less softporn, more political philosophy and scifi-ish explanations of technologies invented from first principles, and obviously more Asians (though with Hollywood, you never know). Of course, there would still be dragons. Lots of dragons.
