DNF @ 64%
I....I really wanted to like this one & choosing to dnf wasn’t an easy one.
This was so promising, it starts off with the introduction of a f/f relationship between a demigod & a mortal girl. The mortal girl ends up finding her manifest, an animal people have the ability to change into that is a part of their life & symbolizes maturity. Her manifest comes out of unfortunate circumstances but she can manifest into a white dragon, powerful and uncommon for a manifest.
Their relationship begins to crumble, the girl, Ina, becomes set on revenge after a tragedy strikes her town but the demigod, Asra (the main ch), doesn’t think that’s the right way to go.
I ended up being more interested in Ina’s storyline than Asra’s and Asra seemed very childish & her different morals and feelings conflicting one another. Blah.

[Reviewer has accepted that nothing will recreate reading "Of Fire And Stars", even other books from the author, but she's still disappointed] [wanted more sapphic nomad vibes] [too much plot]

It's very young YA, and I had to force myself to make it through. The story does pick up and I enjoyed it in the end.
This book was everything I needed in a fantasy. Coulhurst is a fabulous fantasy writer and does a great job at getting you invested in her characters. I fell in love with the main character and felt invested in her journey. Plus it is nice to see a bisexual main character in fantasy. That is not something you see often. The magic system is very well thought out and makes you want more from this world (which we are going to get!).
