This story felt realistic, even though there was the mystical element of dragons being real (Amazing and cute!!!) everything else felt very grounded. It dealt with questions that I ask myself every day, like no matter what I do, will it ever be enough to change things? And the climate change effects were visible throughout the story but it wasn't preachy about it. Lots of really good gut-punch moments. Ow, my heart hurts. But the romance that develops between the characters is sweet and teaches both of them valuable lessons. I was so happy to see Kai get loved and cared for despite his insistence on not helping himself. And the demisexual (?) representation with Eli was unexpected but really well done! I would have liked to know what happens with the dragon research though.
