After the Dragons by Cynthia Zhang
emotional
reflective
3.75
This is a quiet slice-of-life novel that somehow, despite not being anything mindblowing, isn't like anything I've read before.
The story is very zoomed in on Kai and Eli and I really enjoyed that; there are big systemic and environmental issues in the background but this book is not about going on an adventure to solve those issues. It's about these normal people just living their lives. Oh, and dragons. I loved how much detail was put into the dragons!
This book didn't have a huge impact on me emotionally or anything but I was thoroughly invested the whole time and I appreciate this book for what it is. I recommend trying this out if you enjoy slice-of-life, dragons, and character-focused stories.
