A review by bookish_brooklyn
Scorch Dragons by Amie Kaufman
3.0
This is hard for me to say, because:
A) I adore Amie Kaufman - she's honestly one of my favourite authors! And -
B) I loved Ice Wolves, it was one of my favourite reads of last year!
I mean, the friendships in this book were as endearing as ever - as where Reyna and Anders' utterly precious sibling bond, but, I just feel like this one, in my opinion, lacked the adventure and excitement and surprise that Ice Wolves held! I mean, I adore wolves and dragons, but still, I just found this as a whole to be underwhelming. Like, I felt the plot didn't really get moving until half way through and sure there were a few revelations that were announced regarding Anders and Reyna that made me "oh, you can't do that! My heart!" - but even that didn't have me engaged wholly in the story.
