The Dragonet Prophecy by Tui T. Sutherland
Did not finish book. Stopped at 3%.

If I was younger, I would have been all about this book, but now it just feels way too much for kids. I can't take the dragon characters seriously. I'm not totally sure why not, but it just doesn't sit right with me.

Wonderful, beautiful, and nostalgic for me. I love the fact that they gave Link a voice, and I love the voice and personality they gave him!

While many of the sequences from the game were somewhat rushed, I really liked how they gave Link a companion for each one. Also, some of the supplementary stories were very welcome and added some interesting perspective on the main plot!

Wow, this was really great!! Content warning: suicidal main character.
The hope and perspective along with the multiple-universe theory make for an amazing story practically made for me!
