Note: I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.
I *loved* this book. I am not much of a DND player, but I couldn’t help but imagine this book as a DND party adventuring through the wild. Anahrod made for a compelling heroine in her growth, as she went from hiding her life away to claiming the power that is rightfully hers. I loved our supporting side cast as well, who were all fleshed out and felt like real people. Lyons does an amazing job of reminding the reader that these characters are humans first before they are heroes, and I loved each person’s character arc. I only wished we had a bit more of Sicaryon’s story, as I felt his past was not shared enough. Sicaryon’s past would make for an amazing prequel, hint hint!
The dragons. I am in love with Peralon, and I was dying to see more of him each chapter! How wonderful, to have a godlike creature who never lost sight of what makes life worth living. Neveranimas is an incredible villain, and realistic aside from the whole being a dragon thing. Her motivations and desires mirror those who are corrupt and in-power in the real world.
I adored this book, and I know every fantasy reader and dragon-lover would too. 5/5 stars for me!!!
