5.0
It was a privilege to read this book. I genuinely loved it, and the story it told, though I wanted to jump through the page and scream at some of the adults in it more than once.
Anequs was such a lovely, dynamic main character. Also, Kasaqua was just the bestest dragon.
As far as books about dragons go, this one is top tier; well thought out descriptions and lore abound.
I loved the varied cast of characters who are in Anequs' orbit; at least, the ones who didn't cause her so much grief, anyways.
Overall, I definitely hope to reread this book one day, to appreciate the story all over again. This one deserves to become a classic, and I cannot wait for the next book in this series.
