I got this book for free, by winning the Storygraphs giveaway!
I will say that I found the premise fascinating, and I liked Zephyr and Mateo and their dynamic quite a lot. But the pacing of this book is kind of a nightmare, and the storytelling is a little bewildering. I wasn’t sure whether the book wanted to be a mundane story about learning how to be human, and all of the spice-of-life that entails, or dealing with mysterious “hunters” when the high stakes were suddenly introduced. But it was a fun romp through an urban fantasy with a pair of cute dragon boys.
Overall, it just seemed like the kind of book that needed a little… more.
