A review by lydiastorytime
Dragon Fire by Lisa McMann
3.0
Positives: beautiful magical world with unique magical creatures. Loving found family. Mischievous twin girls with strong unruly magical abilities.
*the twins finally reconcile.
Negatives: Implied that the negative events bring out the best in people. Lack of parental guidance or appropriate adult child relationships. Inappropriately heavy leadership decisions laid on children. Idiotic adults and immature child leaders. I hate how repetitive the mistakes are. Another child mage… after another unprepared death of a head mage.
Glaring Inaccuracies
*in previous books it was clearly layed out that pressing all the buttons in the Kitchener tube leads to the jungle. For some reason this book says one button leads there.
*mrs. Octavia does not freeze when Artime disappears.
Triggers for sensitive minds
Physically violence: inhuman treatment of prisoners human and animal, cruel tyranny, slavery (work based), illness from hunger and dehydration, civil war, description of wounds, forced drinking of magical broth that causes physical changes, isolation, various forms of coercion, fighting to escape and to rescue with some lethal force used, mind control via magical animal instincts, weaponized fire, smoke inhalation.
Battle in Arteme with various magical weapons.
Death of magical statue who is revived, death of a villain. Kidnapping
Emotional pain: loss and grief of loved one, fear of death and imprisonment, abandonment, coercion, inappropriately heavy leadership decisions laid on children, grappling with the weight of taking a life.
