The beginning of this is a little slow, but once it picks up, it's difficult to put down! The artwork in this is absolutely lovely, bringing to life this magical world of dragons. Grace's adventures with her friends will definitely catch the attention of middle grade readers, especially middle grade readers who love dragons!

The core group of friends was also really fun to read about. The don't start out as friends at the beginning, but I enjoyed seeing their relationship evolve throughout the book. They have a good balance that just makes them a joy to read about. Plus, Nate the dragon is a bonus addition! Pet dragons would honestly be the best.

At times, I do wish some of the world was a little more fleshed out or more details were provided for clarity. But this is a first in a series, so there's definitely more to come!
