I liked this book as much as Ms. Allende's first book in this series, City of the Beasts. At the beginning of Kingdom of the Golden Dragon there was a part that included the legendary Yetis. This was very interesting and I expected Ms. Allendewould continue to include this legend in other parts of the book, but she only used it again in the last part. I found this disappointing. Unfortunately, some of the action dragged on in the first half of this book, but in the second part there was a much faster pace, which made for a great ending. The ending nicely brought the whole book together, leaving no loose ends. I recommend this book especially if you enjoyed City of the Beasts.
