I had a really hard time getting into this book. I'm not sure if it's because it's a busy time for me or if it's because the beginning dragged on a little bit too much. The last 50 or so pages were really good though.

Dragonfruit is a Pacific Islander YA fantasy adventure that is positively magical! Definitely reminds me of the adventure stories I read as a teen.

The tattoo magic and animal companions were the only saving grace for me. The writing style was really boring and basic despite me flying through it in less than 24 hours. The romance between Hanalei and Sam was fine but boring. I couldn't be more disappointed.
