The Blue Dragon has officially stolen my heart! This volume completely floored me with its stunning artwork, intricate characters, and emotional depth. Ao’s backstory (not the squirrel, but the previous Blue Dragon) absolutely wrecked me. At first, I thought he was awful—who yells at a kid like that? But then we see his pain, his madness driven by his power, and those bells... I was SOBBING.

The interactions between the characters are becoming richer and more heartfelt. Yona continues to grow in bravery and strength, even though she’s not as physically strong as those around her. Her determination is inspiring, and every moment between her and Hak makes my heart squeeze!

This series just keeps getting better, and I’m so glad I already borrowed the next volume on Libby—because I NEED more!
