Blazewrath Games
by Amparo Ortiz
4/5 stars.
This was so good! Blazewrath Games was an exciting mix of magic and mystery that I adored. The book followed our main character Lana as she becomes a member of the Puerto Rican team for the blazewrath games, but finds out that not everything is what it seems and there's nothing harmless about it.
We're immediately thrown into the chaos early on, when Lana comes face to face with a dragon and a blazewrath superstar who Lana had once looked up to. Straight away I'm suspicious of the games, and what more there is to it, but Lana first and foremost has been dreaming about being a part of the game so is still resolute to join the team - but also to find out more about what's going on behind the scenes. I adore the ambition and bravery, she's smart and headstrong and doesn't back down from a fight. But, she's also vulnerable, shown with her interactions with her mother. It's easy to root for her.
The whole games itself is fascinating. The rules are complex and took me a while to get my head around. I loved how all the dragons had distinct looks from one another, and their bonds with their humans was so sweet. It made me really wonder, are they being held captive to play, or do they really enjoy the game as much as their humans do? The Sire clearly thinks differently - and he was an amazing villain to read about. A dragon turned human, what a unique antagonist who's ideals I could almost get behind if he weren't harming other dragons in the process of his plan to "free" them.
Overall, a great read, and I'm super excited to read the sequel!
