I’ve got mixed feelings about this book. It was absurd, funny, confusing, and sweet all at different times. It reminded me of some very funny satirical fanfiction o read a long time ago. A lot of lines that could have been followed by a ba-dum-tish. That satirical veneer kind of prevented the more serious aspects of the book from taking shape, though.

I did love the found family trope, that was really lovely. And Amber the mediocre dragon was a treat.

One thing, though: were the guards ACTUAL birds? I got so confused.
