This was cute. I had a good time reading it. I liked the worldbuilding and the dragon lore.

I am always a sucker for a coming-of-age story; this one is also a murder mystery and a YA romance. And it’s a story about intolerance and division and the specter of war, and reading it in 2024 definitely makes it feel urgent in a way that I’m not sure it would have at a different time in my life.

Fantastic and imaginative. I couldn't put it down. Just a very neat world.

That said, I've mentally replaced Seraphina with a 19 year old, which is what I assumed she was the whole time.
