Hello my gorgeous beautiful sapphic dragon loving friends. This book was adorable to the extreme. I enjoyed every minute of it. Hollis has a great and engaging writing style, and the whole book flowed very well. All aspects of queerness were integrated very well, we had a non-binary character, our main characters were sapphic, but it was done so naturally. It wasn't the focal point of the book, it was just apart of it, which I loved.
This was definitely a different take on dragons, ones I hadn't seen before, and I liked that.
Lotte is an excellent main character -- her character arc was fabulous. Even the side characters were nicely developed. One of the things about the plot was obvious, however, it didn't detract from the overall story, because while there was an action based plot, much of this book was character driven and about the choices they do and don't make.
There was a tiny bit of gore in this book, but not too much. There were also quite a few parts that deal with parental trauma and childhood trauma. Having not experienced those things, I can't say as to the accuracy, but they do play a part in the story of our characters.
Overall, this was a well crafted standalone book about two girls who fall in love while a dragon is terrorizing a town.
