This was so fun! Definitely could have used more world-building and character development - the plot felt rushed in many ways. However, this may be because I have been deep in a Sanderson hole, so any book less than 1300 pages feels underdeveloped. Also, I had to keep reminding myself this is YA and therefore a different caliber. So, all in all, 3.5 stars! A fun piratey dragony adventure that’s explores Pacific Islander mythology. I enjoyed it!

I am always a fan of reading fantasy books not inspired by the standard Tolkeinesque realm. I loved the Polynesian setting in this.
I will never forgive what they did to Fetu.

Well written and was an interesting story. However, I would have appreciated a trigger warning first animal death.

It was fine. I listened to it to complete a reading challenge. I liked the magic system and the world building, but the plot was just meh.
