Maybe spoiler?? But also not really??
Okay so this book wasn't as good as the rest of the series has been but I think that has alot to do with the fact I don't really know Peril that much as a character. I do like how she overcame difficulties though!

I think this book is one of my favorites in the series. There was so so so much revelations and I didn't see any of it coming. I had such a great time reading it and I just love Peril so much!

I knew I would love this book when in the prologue poor Peril says “but I burnded it”. It was so cute and sad …
This was an excellent adventure in the series, helped along with a great central character - Peril. Her inner voice was so confused and cute and funny that I was smiling throughout the book. There was a lines like this:
“He said he saw good in her. Which probably meant he didn’t want her setting a large group of dragons on fire ..” lol

Overall, I think this book was great and a bit of a break from convention when it comes to this series. However, I docked its rating for one major reason. I like the decision to follow Peril instead of a Kinkajou book (because Kinkajou is already perfect and therefore wouldn't have much development), and this story wraps up a lot of loose ends from the first arc. However, I think they were trying to emphasize that differences should not be removed for someone to fit in, but I think in Peril's particular situation that doesn't apply. Peril's fire scales are extremely debilitating to her in everyday life; she can't read, she's constantly accidentally setting fires, and even slight contact with anyone else could kill them. So I think the decision to not use the scroll to allow Peril to have a necklace or bracelet that could remove her fire scales as she pleases was a bad one. I know there's a general sentiment to not remove disabilities magically in fantasy books, but regular people do not set others on fire when they touch them; it ultimately comes off as saying Peril should just suffer for the rest of her life.
