The Sky on Fire by Jenn Lyons
4.0
"The Sky on Fire" by Jenn Lyons was a wonderful adventure through a world filled with dragons, heists, and magic. Jenn creates a vibrant setting where dragons coexist with the rich and powerful in high society within the mountain peaks, while the less fortunate struggle in the lawless jungles below. Her imaginative depiction of dragon society, complete with complex politics, adds layers of intrigue to the narrative.
The novel’s plot-driven approach maintains a fast-paced and exciting rhythm, though its characters, while distinct and colorful, often rely on familiar archetypes without much exploration of their depths. The heist storyline unfolds with constant surprises and swift changes. I liked the idea of the garden rings and liked the LGBTQ representation within the story and, but the romantic dynamics between Anahrod, Ris, and Sicaryon felt hurried and lacked emotional resonance throughout the story. Despite these minor things, The Sky on Fire was a great high fantasy/heist adventure.
