This is one of those books where I saw the cover and couldn't not buy it. It's a classic dragon fantasy featuring a lady knight with a nice helping of Good For Her. I'm living my truth by giving this five stars. I do think it would have been stronger by being longer, and I would have LOVED to see more character growth and exploration. But for what it was, I still loved it! The historical text chapters were a great choice for worldbuilding and giving life to dragons. But this was Maddileh's show and I loved it. I'm a sucker for a lady knight and she didn't disappoint. And I did not expect the twist at the end and that's what really bumped my enjoyment up. I will absolutely pick up the sequel!
