Scorch Dragons by Amie Kaufman

4.0

I just love these kids so much! They're so brave and honestly, I would have been head over heels for this series as a 10-year-old. I'm still loving it as a 26-year-old! I love the transformation magic, what kid didn't love dragons and wolves? Just the best creatures to pick. I'm so happy we got to see so much of the dragon's realm in the book when the first focused so heavily on the wolves. After seeing how both societies are run it's clear that both have many problems. Though I will say I vastly prefer dragon school to the wolf academy. The flight of the dragons also allowed us to see more of the world in which these books are set. There are some really magical descriptions of the landscapes and the various places they travel to. We also discover more of Anders and Rayna's past and it is juicy! The new dragon characters were a lot of fun. I love that even though these kids have grown up with so much prejudice between them they manage to see beyond what they've been told and become friends with someone they've been told to hate. I do wish it had been a little harder for them at some points in their quest but that's likely because I'm an adult reading a middle grade. Younger me probably would have felt a lot differently. I'm very excited to see how this series concluded in the final book!
