Do you want a high fantasy adventure without betrayals, cheating, or arguing? This series is for you.

I was pleasantly surprised that this book's style was almost identical to the first book! The writing, tropes, and pacing were the same. It truly felt like an extension of book 1. ❤️

It was less relaxing than the first book, with a lot more adventures, and I cried my eyes out multiple times, but there wasn't any angst either. A few times (at the beginning) it looks like there will be but then Shiori gets a brain and changes her mind haha THANK YOU.

This duology is everything. The Dragon’s Promise to me was as good as this first book. Once again I loved the magic, the world, the family bonds and Shiori’s personality. This book was so enchanting that it felt real, Shiori has grown so much and I adore reading from her point of view so much. I just love everything about this story. And it had me crying over a paper bird.

I’m both happy with the Seryu content we had as it felt like that part of the story had closure but I would love to read more about him and his antics.

But yeah, such a romantic, enchanting and spectacular book.
