I didn't like green dragon. Hak and White Snakevfbvbfhjbfvj... I love their bickering.

We found the blue dragon and then… abandoned him to find the green dragon? Okay I guess. This was fun though!

~4.5/5

I am seriously obsessed.

The Blue Dragon joins the gang in this volume, and Yona gives him his first real name. He's honestly rather adorable. There's a big scene here where the characters contemplate the use of names and hierarchy; I like it, but I also find the scene with Hak a bit bothersome. I understand her reasoning, but at the same time it feels a bit like she's trying to remind him of his place and keep him at a distance, with her reasoning. I don't know about that.

Yona is given a rather hard view of how the people saw her father here, and what it's like outside. It's hard, and she's trying to accept and be better, and I respect that. Of course, the next dragon shows up in this volume, though Yona hasn't quite met him yet. He's rather opposite of the White dragon, and I'm excited to see more in the next one.

I seriously love this series. Even the humor is so well placed. I need more, even two months isn't fast enough for releases.


A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!

Funny, charming and utterly intriguing. I can't wait to see where the next volume goes, I can't wait for the third dragon to finally meet Yona!
