Blazewrath Games
by Amparo Ortiz
Quidditch meets The Hunger Games in this incredible take on magic and dragons in a modern world. Lana Torres has always loved dragons and the sport they compete in alongside their riders: Blazewrath. So when the chance to compete for Team Puerto Rico as their runner (the only non-dragon-bonded member of the team) is offered up, she jumps on the chance. But the circumstances that landed her there (an attack on a famous wand shop) are more than a little suspicious. And with the Sire--a dragon turned human terrorist--threatening to burn the world if the games aren't stopped, her role in Blazewrath grows increasingly complicated. Especially when she learns the contract she signed hides deadly secrets.
This is the book I've been wanting without even realizing it. I love stories that explore magic and modern technology and Blazewrath Games does maybe the best job of it I've ever seen. I love that witches co-exist alongside Regular humans and dragons. I loved the twists and turns (though I did see some coming). I loved the voice. I do think parts of the plot of this story could've been drawn out into a series really successfully, but I'm kind of hoping Oritz may have plans to continue this on as a series regardless. There is certainly a lot of set up for one otherwise. Blazewrath Games is YA fantasy at its best.
