I guess we have started a new trend of turning established characters into Asians. I have always been open about my appreciation towards Throne of Glass ( sense the sarcasm ) and this is just extreme. Because I am done with checkbox Asian characters, here's a list of fantasy books that are either based on Asian cultures/worlds and/or feature Asian characters.
