The Dandelion Dynasty is Advanced Fantasy!

Welcome back! Today we’re discussing the four books in the Dandelion Dynasty by Ken Liu. This is a pretty complex series! It one of the smartest, most detailed and intricate fantasy creations I’ve ever seen. The scope and scale of this story is staggering. It’s packed full of philosophy, historical parallels, scientific innovation, academia, and just a bunch of topics. It can also be quite tricky to read. It’s very detailed orientated and slow build. And it has dry academic writing style that feels like reading a history book. These are brilliant books that may not work for you. So I’ll pitch these books to you, spoiler free, and help you decide if you want to read them.
