This was a really cute novel. I really enjoyed reading it. It was predictable but that is to be expected when a novel is based off of a fairy tale. I found myself engrossed in this novel. It was a nice escape from reality. I will definitely look into reading more novels by this author. The writing was spectacular, and it was very imaginative.

Better than expected
Having seen a previous film effort about an escape room, I went into this with very low expectations but I actually came out pleasantly surprised.

Yes it's a little bit predictable, and the flashforward of the ending right at the start of the film really doesn't help matters. However I found most of this film ridiculously tense and I was completely enthralled and entertained. This may just be because I've played quite a few escape rooms and recognised a lot of familiar things, but I don't really care as it was very enjoyable to watch. I was also glad that it didn't rely on jump scares or over the top gore like other films, which was quite refreshing. Some of the rooms are great, others not so but the film passes by so quickly it's difficult to find time to dwell. Other than some of the rooms not being as well thought out, my only other issue is the ending itself. Whilst i can tell it was trying to be interesting, it came across as a little bit much and too farfetched. Didn't ruin the film completely, but did take something away from it. But aside from that this is a surprisingly good and tense film.

A fantastic escape to historical China, where the supernatural is natural.
THE OLD DRAGON'S HEAD takes you back in time to the Great Wall of China and you become immersed with the main characters and their search for the truth and justice. Supernatural is natural for those with yin-yang eyes, and the Heavens rule over everything, including day-to-day duties. Karma is not an unknown entity, but something to be respected and even feared.

Told mainly from Bolin, Feng, and Luli's perspectives, you get a well-rounded story that deals with treachery, betrayal, and murder. Our heroes are fallible and things definitely don't go their way all the time.

I must say, I agreed with Luli completely at the end, and it came as a surprise as Abbott Dong had been a level-headed character up to that point.

This was very well-written, with a love of ancient China showing through. The story is intricate and in-depth, whilst being easy to read. A fantastic escape and definitely recommended by me.
