PRAISE FOR DRAGON PEARL
Locus Award Winner!
New York Times Best Seller!
“A zesty mix of Korean folklore, magic, and science fiction that
will leave you longing for more adventures in the Thousand
Worlds!"
—Rick Riordan, New York Times #1 best-selling author of Percy
Jackson and the Olympians series
"I was so impressed by DRAGON PEARL. The story is multi-layered,
the world construction is impeccable--with an awesome intersection
of tech and culture--and it is totally compelling to read. Min's
nuanced feelings about her magic, her family, and her fox heritage
are marvelously complicated. I loved her, and I know you will,
too!"
—E.K. Johnston, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Ahsoka
"Who would have thought Korean mythology would make for such an
intense and magical space opera! I loved every moment of it and
want the next book NOW so I can explore all the Thousand Worlds
with Min! This book is brilliant and gorgeous, and why didn't I
have it when I was a kid??"
—Ellen Oh, author of Spirit Hunters and the Prophecy series
"With crisp dialogue, a winning protagonist and a propulsive plot,
this tale is enormously entertaining."
—New York Times Book Review
★"Lee has created an adrenaline-filled space opera with
mythological creatures living alongside humans. It is refreshing to
see both Koran elements and a nonbinary character seamlessly
integrated into the storyline. A high-octane, science-fiction
thriller painted with a Korean brush and a brilliant example of how
different cultures can have unique but accessible cosmology and
universal appeal."
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
★"Lee skillfully weaves Korean folklore into this space opera
narrative, creating dynamic and relatable characters. With ghosts,
pirates, and a rollicking space adventure, there's a little
something for everyone here."
—School Library Journal (starred review)
★"Lee offers a perfect balance of space opera and Korean mythology
with enough complexity to appeal to teens."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Lee has a knack for world-building. His richly detailed, cohesive,
original vision is a lively mash-up of outer-space sci-fi and
Korean culture and folklore."
—Horn Book Magazine
"The Korean-mythology-in-space setup is great fun, with
supernatural beings and ghosts aplenty, spaceships that run on
technological and spiritual energy combined, an entire planet
populated by ghosts, and bountiful space hijinks and
derring-do."
—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
PRAISE FOR TIGER HONOR
“The Thousand Worlds universe continues to thrill with the lure of
Korean mythology, the action of space battle, and the personal
struggle to act with honor. Fans will demand more.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“With a delightful mix of Korean mythology and science fiction, Lee
expands on the intriguing world of his previous novel to create
another exhilarating adventure with a new precocious protagonist.
Fans of Dragon Pearl will enjoy this dive back into the Thousand
Worlds universe.”
—Booklist
