I think this has been my favorite in the series so far since the first one. I loved how we got to learn more about the dragons and how they exist in different environments and circumstances. The only thing is I’m not sure where the whole story arc with Moshueshue and the African dragons is going and how it will interact with the war already going on. Also, I’m a little worried about the cliffhanger at the end of this book, since I have a couple of ideas about how it could play out in the next book.

Another page turner! Much more exciting than the last book in the series, with a lot more character development all around.

It is a historical war fiction, so there is viilence and death of both human and dragons. Also, this book deals with slavery throughout and with slavery comes a level of racism.
