Blue dragon continues in the vein of Red phoenix. Emma learns more energy work, there are attacks by weird demons, and we see some more of the Chinese gods, stones, and dragons. I was disappointed about the ending, though. Way too much to-do about destroying Simon Wong, with no explanation of how it was done. A bit deus-ex-machina-like, with skills coming to the fore that we hadn't seen before. Quite frankly, with skills that could have been used to better effect beforehand if they had been there all along.
On top of that, the mystery around Emma STILL isn't solved, and if I am to believe the blurbs of Dark serpent, it's not going to be solved in the Journey to Wudang series either. Worse, the situation has become more complicated due to Wong's meddling. I'm a bit exasperated by it all, I feel this end is deviating from the path the books were following for 2.8 books, loosing some of its optimism and its feel-good aspect. I'm sure it will all be ok at some point in the next series, but that is just not right. This is a trilogy, a series in its own right. It should have a decent ending on its own. I really am a bit put out about this. I really don't feel like having to go through the whole next series before things are put to rights... ( )

Thank you. It's over. ( )

This might be the end of the trilogy but it's certainly not the end of Emma, John Chen and the others. There are too many questions left unanswered, and the book ended on a real cliff-hanger. "Blue Dragon" is even more action-packed than "The Red Phoenix" with the demons becoming stronger and Wong continuing his plan to destroy Zuan Wu. this book had me rushing to the end to see how it would end. The only thing that put me off this book were the snakes, they were HUGE and deadly!!!!! ( )

messy. I'm quite disappointed with ambiguous ending. review soon! ( )
