This was so much fun! I loved the narration right from the get-go, and the intriguing characters and their stories pulled me in right away. The magic system was very interesting to learn about and felt very unique and different than any other book I'd read before. However, the ending felt a bit rushed and I would have liked for it to be a bit more drawn out. I also wanted to put a big trigger warning for animal death in this story. But the overall plot was filled with action and kept me on the edge of my seat. I'm excited to read more of Makiia's work in the future!

For some strange reason, I have struggled with fantasy books in the past and when I picked this up via audio, I didn’t think it was going to be different. As it was part of a challenge I was participating in, I had to pick it up when I failed at an attempt to read a book of a similar genre.
Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised.
This book was rich in character development and the plot was very interesting. It brought out the importance of culture but also the need for proper interpretation of societal norms and beliefs.
As I was listening to this book, I felt engrossed, like I had been transported to their land and was helping them on the hunt for dragonfruit.
This ending of this book left me happy with a hope for more and an area for my interpretation to take over and finish the rest of the story.
Would highly recommend.

4.5 rounded up. I just really enjoyed it and I thought it was a fresh take on young adult fantasy- no competition and 'I'm not like the other girls' ideals, just dragons and finding our way home
