Honestly, the entirety of this review should just be me shouting about dragons. Because guess what. IN THIS BOOK THERE ARE DRAGONS. DRAGONS disguised as PEOPLE, to be more precise.
Yes, my love for Aziz Ansari might be getting out of hand. So what.
Here are some more super cool things about this book:
One, the protagonist is a girl!!!! That feels very unique and awesome for a fantasy graphic novel (especially one that, as I may have mentioned, features DRAGONS).
Two, said girl is very badass and punch-y. I love a fighty protagonist. VIOLENCE!!!!
Three, there's a surprisingly solid amount of diversity!!!!! Which is really so awesome.
Four, this is actually decently funny! We be crackin' jokes the whole time.
Five, THE ART IS SO GORGEOUS. UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL, ACTUALLY. There are certain panels that just made me turn into a heart-eyes emoji. Like the Gushers commercials from the early 2000s that depict kids eating Gushers and turning into grape-headed monsters. Except with beautiful drawings of sunsets over medieval-looking towns instead of Gushers and an emoticon instead of a horrifying 3D animated fruit.
Horrifying.
I only have little complaints. This is only a volume of what will be a larger graphic novel, so it's very short. Impossible to really fall in love with ya know??? It felt a little clichéd at some points and some of the dialogue felt false, but overall this was THE FUNNEST.
Bottom line: Dragonsdragonsdragonsdragonsdragons. Read this!!!

pre-review
Here is the coolest thing that has ever happened to me: I got an ARC of this before there was even a Goodreads page for it.
Yeah, that's right.
I made this page.
Google and Amazon are currently in a bidding war for my technical prowess.
Anyway can't wait to read this baby!!!!!!
