She would like nothing more than to escape Jinju, her neglected, dust-ridden, and impoverished planet. She’s counting the days until she can follow her older brother, Jun, into the Space Forces and see more of the Thousand Worlds.

When word arrives that Jun is suspected of leaving his post to go in search of the Dragon Pearl, Min knows that something is wrong. Jun would never desert his battle cruiser, even for a mystical object rumored to have tremendous power. …

Review of 'Dragon Pearl' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I really loved the worldbuilding here but the suspension of disbelief was a bit too strained and too little was explained for my taste. Also the last location was the most interesting and could have easily been a whole book of it's own. Definitely an enjoyable read, though, I just wished there had been more depth here and there. It was very refreshing to read magic and mythology not built from Western lore and I definitely will read more from that author.
