2.0

Bad writing enabled by lenient editing. The entire book just felt like a mish-mash of hyperbolized BookTok tropes mashed together with chapters that the author clearly thought about and other chapters that felt like worn out Scotch tape trying to hold the plot together. 

1.5 stars for the sassy frog and 1.5 stars for the dragon, but taking back .5 stars because I kept forgetting about both of them throughout the book. How do you make a sassy frog and a dragon forgettable? boooo!
