Blazewrath Games
by Amparo Ortiz
3.5 stars.
For some reason I was under the impression this was going to be a standalone? I had no clue I was getting myself into another series.
The pacing of this one felt a bit off to me. The stakes felt so low for a while. How am I supposed to care about a tournament when there's evil murder plots going on! And then all of a sudden we're at the climax. The emotional notes didn't quite hit for me the way I would have liked them to. The world-building also isn't really....well much there.
That might sound pretty negative, but I actually enjoyed this. It was a super easy read. Hello?? DRAGONS! Though I would have liked to have seen the main character interact more directly with some dragons. And for some reason I was into this family drama. We had some interesting characters I don't think we got to explore enough. With this being a series though maybe we still have more time.
If you like dragons and YA, go ahead and check this out, it's a super quick read.
"The thing about people is they tend to love us their way, not the way we’d want them to love us. We can tell them loads of times. We can draw them a bloody map. Sometimes their way is the only way that makes sense to them. Our voices are just white noise.”
