- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Thank you. It's over.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This 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!!!!!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Blue 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...
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A good ending to the series. I found my self almost crying at the end. In some ways, I thought some parts dragged on a little too much and did not find the book in general as enjoyable as the first two. But I thoroughly enjoyed the ending and I am looking forward to reading the next series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of the most exciting of the three books. You have to read them all in order as they act as continuing chapters of the previous books and there is no review in the first chapters. (This is true for book 2 as wellIN this book, we have more action and this is the book when John reverts to true form (Not a spoiler as we know this is coming in book 2)John is weaker than ever and can't travel to Paris to get help from Kwan Yin. She must travel closer to China where both John and the Demons have their centres. This brings out more attacks from 122. Kitty Kwong makes a return and we get to see what 122's experiments mean for our Chen family.Emma comtinues to develop her powers.The Showdown at the end of the book is not to be missed.Very exciting and the book leaves it open for books 4 to 6.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The third book of the trilogy delivers the same dialogue-driven aciton as the first two books. The conflict with the Demon Prince One Two Two moves towards its climax, and Emma continues to explore her dark nature.
