Four Dragons, AKA Daniel Sucks At Wéiqí...

I have only just read Four Dragons because The Power Behind The Throne killed my mojo for the novels dead. It undoubtedly starts off with Jack & Daniel at each other's throats (as per your usual early season 7 slash fic :P). Asshat!Jack comes into play as he tends to do in the later novels so I was a tad worried that this one would follow suit with the whole 'Jack is an asshole to Daniel, Daniel gets whumped, Jack saves the day and acts all nonchalant about it and they all live happily ever after without addressing the key fundamental problems that caused the whole mess'. You know, that ol' chestnut.

( That's 'Colonel' Asshat to you...  )
