There are some books that everyone needs to read and this is one of them.

I think this book's idea is great and well-executed. One thing that does lower the rating (only slightly) is that I struggled to actually picture the dragons, specifically their size. I'd try to imagine it but I was questioning myself, is it too small? too big? how can they carry a purse but not go through a door?. Nonetheless, it was a good book.

3.5 stars. I liked it, but parts dragged a bit. The ending was sweet. I loved the romance and lgbtq+ themes. There was something lacking for me and I can’t quite place what that is. I don’t like how much Alex stifled Bea, but I’m glad she finally supported her.
