So many dragons. I love to see it.
Y'all I'm still so amazed by this book. I loved everything about this from the cast to the plot. The ending was super satisfying too. I'm really curious to see what will happen in the sequel since events were wrapped up very nicely in this one.
Lana Torres has always loved Blazewrath. Ever since she can remember it's been part of her relationship with her father. When her home, Puerto Rico, finds its own dragons and enters the tournament, Lana has only dreamed of becoming the runner for Team Puerto Rico. Even though Lana hasn't been back to the island in 12 years, the island is in her blood.
The game of Blazewrath is exhilarating and dangerous. I loved learning more about it and seeing all the various training islands everyone goes through. When Lana becomes the new runner for Team PR she must train harder than she ever has in order to match up with the other teams. But something else is also stirring. The Sire, a dragon cursed into human form, is causing havoc and burning down dragon sanctuaries unless the Blazewrath World Cup is cancelled.
There is so much happening in this book. Like truly I am amazed every time I think of this ultimate masterpiece. I loved the cast of characters, everyone was dynamic and felt like a full character. I loved how easily diverse this book was too. And there were so many queer characters for a book that doesn't have a main romance pairing either!
Really I can't recommend this enough!

Moderate: alcoholism of side character, past mentions of child & domestic abuse, past mentions of parent's death, child death, homophobia/homomisia, kidnapping, torture.
