Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

5.0

How do I not see this talked about more?? This was such a good dragon story! The world building was subtle but really effective, the writing was gorgeous without being overly flowery and I really loved the unique take on dragons. The plot was engaging with some really clever twists and the protagonist was also a breath of fresh air in terms of ya protagonists. She was smart and headstrong and capable, but without feeling immature or too reckless. I really loved her growth throughout the story.I also liked how the romance was written (Red liked a romance?? I know), it was really sweet and well built up. There was such a great balance between mystery, politics, romance and fantastical elements. I’ll definitely be picking up the sequel!
