Creative, whimsical, and with a spunky pair of twins at its center this should have been right up my ally, yet for some reason the spark never ignited. I enjoyed listening to it but I was never surprised by the events or in awe of the creations in Roar (not even the dragons!). While I did like the complicated sibling dynamics, I think I would've preferred Rose's POV instead of Arthur's. Won't continue with the series, but would definitely recommend to younger readers.
