Continues to be engaging. Could have been edited down a fair bit, but it's nice to spend time with the characters!

I had hoped that book two in this series would pick up the pace, however I was disappointed yet again with a lackluster plot. The narration was well done, the characters are loveable but simple.

DNF @ 40% the first book was so good, this one is annoying me. The characters repeat themselves after saying a sentence constantly, and I’m just losing interest. Marco saying “girl” after everything is also an annoyance. Kinda bummed - one of my most anticipated reads.

Overall:
Content warning; semi-graphic rape scene*
Rep: dragons, male/male romance
Thoughts
Neutral thoughts:
Honestly the only good thing about this book were the wholesome cringe moments between some of the love interests and family.
The plot is ALL over the place, and you know that scene in The Emperor's New Groove when Yzma, Kronk, Kuzco & Pacha are racing their way back to the palace & you see them on the map just making their way there & it’s just all over the place. THIS WHOLE BOOK FELT LIKE THAT SCENE. There was just so much going on, while at the same time, it felt like nothing was going on.
*About the rape scene, it features very dubious consent & I was very taken aback by it. I haven't seen a SINGLE review that mentions this, so just as a forwarding, there's essentially a rape scene even though the person "consents" to having sex with a certain person.
Pros:
We have a dragon bonding moment & it was very cute.
Gripes:
There are so many unnecessary scenes! And Subplots! Especially Shana’s! Completely unnecessary, even though I see where it's "going", I still think it's not necessary.
The romance(s):
Breen and Keegan were weird & very lukewarm in this.

I like how by explaining to Marco, we were also reading a recap of book1. I got into the story easily. We spent alot of idle time in part 1. I get that it's for us to feel what the normal life was like and the relationships but still I wasn't a fan. I think it stalled in the beginning. The story started a little late so only toward the middle of the book, I started reading it faster.
I didn't like any of his "romantic" interactions with her. I appreciate it if someone is honest but he was too blunt with it as if he was dumping his feelings on her head. I think I only loved the family relationships and loved Marco friendship and loyalty from the beginning.
Sometimes the amount of feelings she got from the world became excessive. I understood it but I was done with all of these descriptions
The best part was the 3rd quarter with the action and new knowledge. The rest made it 3 stars.
The fight and the ending were good but I lost interest in the story. Breen having so I am not sure if I will continue with the series.
