3.0

Strong character growth, particularly interrogating the idea of leadership. 

Trust, family, protection, with a quiet nod to education and literature. 

Tsunami not having learnt her native language of Aquatic was a lovely touch.

Bless these damn dragons 🤭 Such a perfect plot with perfect characters, even though a lot of the main dragonets weren’t in like half the book. But the sea!!!! Riptide!!!! Anemone!!!! So many beautiful introductions and developments, especially Tsunami, who was definitely overdue for some development (if you start reading and think she’s a brat, just keep reading, she gets so much better). I am thoroughly loving this series so far, so excited to read Glory’s book immediately 😫

I really liked this one, maybe even more than the first book! It was a quick exciting read with plenty of twists and turns. I like the colorful descriptions of the setting and characters that the author uses, it makes it reading a sensory experience for me.
 There are a lot of characters, so keep them all straight in my mind, I made a list so I can keep track of who is who and what they look like.
