đ Dragonfall đ
I received a digital arc in exchange for an honest review.
I was so excited about the concept of this book: dragons, queer characters, mystery, magic. It did not disappoint!
I havenât read very many dragon magic books (theyâre kind of hard to find tbh), but I really felt like the way L. R. Lam created the magic system and the worlds of Loc and Vere Celene was very unique. I loved that there was no real âexplanationâ for why the queer characters were queer; they just were, it is just apart of them. I wouldnât say this qualifies as a romance (or even having a romance subplot) thereâs just a little sprinkle of attraction and desire.
The anticipation of whether or not their big heist was going to be pulled off, if Arcady and Everen could figure out the forbidden magic that held them together, and if either of their big secrets were going to be discovered captivated me from the very beginning. Not to mention a plot twist I didnât see coming AND a cliffhanger!
L. R. Lam wrote an amazing story. Not only can I not wait to get my hands on a physical copy, but also for whenever book 2 comes out!
