Really enjoyed this!!

Definitely some typical YA eye-rolling going on, but that just comes down to my preferences. I also got pretty lost in the details of the main conflict. Though that could definitely be because I listened to most of this book and my attention sometimes wavers with audio.

But I loved the main characters and the magic and the dragons. Not to mention anticolonialist message. And the surprise ace rep!!!! 🥹 The romances were a bit cheesy, but I'm into them and was SO pleasantly surprised to see some rep. 🫶🏻

I was already planning to continue (and even moreso when I learned this is only going to be a duology), but that ending really sealed the deal!! Love it, so excited to see where this story goes.
