I love this little book soooo much! I read it in 3 hours and I couldn't stop reading it. There weren't any boring moments (like in longer books) and it was just soo good!
I love the queer rep: trans women, a sapphic couple, an aromantic guy,... and I loved how they simply asked for the dragons pronouns.
I also loved how the adventure starts with trans people and to find a way in which they are more accepted and understood and the idea of spreading queer stories around the world to make them more accepted is so beautiful.
And that violet finds out a name (aromantic) for what he is feeling (or rather not feeling) because of those stories is so cool!
I think everyone should read this book because it's amazing, it's short, it's queer and its just fun to read!
