The Sky on Fire by Jenn Lyons

3.0

Anahrod Amnead has been hunted for the last sixteen years. Everyone thought she had died all those years ago, however she has been hiding and thriving in the shadows of the Deep. Now the dragons sense her presence again and they are after her for something she never did.
In a world where dragon riders were created to serve and are controlled by dragons Anahrod must fight against dragons, creatures and humans alike if she wants to live. When Anahrod finds a mysterious Deeper dragonrider, Ris, she forms a vengeful alliance to take down those that have taken their lives away.
Overall rating 3/5
This book’s premise hooked me right away. However, I felt so disconnected and not truly invested in the characters. For as lengthy as this book is I felt that there was very minimal character development and a bunch of side plots that were unnecessary. I do appreciate the relationship between Ris and Anarhrod, but felt that there could have been more of a slow burn to their eventual spicy scene. The world building was perfect and I felt as if I was in the Deep evading all the nasty creatures. Narrated by Lauren Fortgang who gave Anarhrod a unique and relatable voice.
