But now, at seventeen, Faron is all powered up with no wars to fight. Shes a legend to her people and a nuisance to her neighbors. When shes forced to attend an international peace summit, Faron expects that she will perform tricks like a trained pet and then go home. She doesnt expect her older sister, Elara, forming an unprecedented bond with an enemy dragonor the gods claiming the only way to break that bond is to kill her sister.

Mehso-so

A lot was happening in the book, and it felt kinda disjointed. I wish it had focused on the characters and their relationships more. Both sets of couples went from enemies to madly in love without any real explanations. The ending was the best part of the book and made me want to read the second book. It wasn't a bad read, and the cover is gorgeous!

Thank you to Little Brown Publishing for the ARC.

I was obsessed with dragons when I was in elementary school, so this book really scratched an itch for me there. It had everything third-grade me would want. I did feel that Faron‘s story sort of dragged and I was sort of just rolling my eyes at her decisions the entire time. I did like Elara‘s story a lot more and was excited to read her side. 4⭐️
