If you enjoy Moana and Dragons then this book is for you.
As a reader of many myth retellings and not being familiar with any myths from the Pacific islands it was a very enjoyable read
It's a quit coming of age. story where will discover everything about the dragons but also the power of being yourself in a world where it sometimes is hard to be.
The story is about Hanalei and she has left her home island 10 years ago but not by choice and now she needs to find her place again with her people while caring a heavy burden.
This story was very compelling and I just wanted to continue it. It almost felt like a smal cozy fantasy because of the setting but the stakes where to high for it to be a cozy fantasy. I really nice story I will look forward what this author may write more
