I am absolutely in love with these characters. I read most of the book in one sitting (I’m a fast reader, but I haven’t been that enthusiastic about a book in a while) and a lot of that was because I’m already so attached to everybody. The dragonets are all so varied in the way they cope (and the way they act in general) and spend half the book arguing, but they all still care for each other. I can’t help but trust the author to use this world and these characters to tell a great story.
I also loved seeing things through Clay’s eyes– His sense of wonder is just so endearing (not that he’s the only endearing dragonet in the series or anything). I feel like all of the characters are truly well thought out, and they feel very real to me. I cannot wait to read the next book!

Content Warnings
Graphic: Death, Violence, Blood, and Murder
Moderate: Child abuse and Emotional abuse
Minor: Child death and Death of parent
A lot of the death and violence is specifically in relation to war, and war seems to be a pretty central concept. There’s at least one detailed description of a battlefield that could be upsetting for a sensitive/young reader.
