The Dragon of Ynys by Minerva Cerridwen

5.0

I absolutely adored this book. It's so incredibly sweet and hopeful and thoughtful and just an absolutely amazing time. I appreciated the discussion of the ways that people can mess up, even when they're trying to help, and the fact that perfection isn't the goal because it's impossible but rather continual growth as we try to do better by the people around us. There were just so many good conversations in the book between characters where they acknowledged that they'd messed up and hurt someone, and the person who was hurt is allowed to voice their hurt and explain what they need to feel more comfortable and safe and their needs are respected. And the ending being Violet's ideal ending to a story? *chef's kiss* perfection
