Alright, we’re diving into the second book in the Supernatural Prison series. Let me just say, this book had me at “dragon,” but somewhere around chapter Who-Knows-Anymore, it decided to take a leisurely stroll through the Valley of Lost Focus.

The beginning? Fire. The ending? Also fire. The middle? More like a slow burn that almost put me to sleep. I kept putting it down, finding every excuse to do literally anything else (including reorganizing my sock drawer), and it took me forever to crawl back and finish.

The characters are still great—hello, Braxton and Jessa are the kind of chaos I live for—but the plot kind of dragged its feet like a kid avoiding bedtime. That said, the last quarter snapped me right back into the action, and I was reminded why I love this series.

Final thoughts: Dragon Mystics could’ve been an epic dragon ride from start to finish, but it got a little too cozy mid-flight. Worth it for the payoff, though—just pack some patience for the journey.
