I really loved this book. There was never a time I didn't want to pick it up. While some of the scenes and moments hit HARD, I could always count on, and root for Anequs to fight forward. I loved the dragons, the connections made, and the uniqueness of the story being told. It was nice to have a character with PRIDE of where she was from instead of rose colored lenses for a "high society." I thought her brother gave a realistic balance to this without betraying his character. It very much left room for a sequel with tension ramping up. I know debuts often are given this treatment and I SO hope this author is able to continue this story.
