The Dangerous Gift by Tui T. Sutherland

4.0

It was a very cute book and provided some interesting insight into the minds of several characters while also showing amazing character growth in the protagonist of this book. She starts off as a paranoid, very anxious young new ruler who is extremely unsure of herself with a very opinionated isolationist mindset but learns empathy and becomes a more accepting dragon. It was a very touching story, plus we got to learn more about the scavengers which was also an interesting development. At first, I thought it felt more like a filler book because it didn't actually add much on its own to the main storyline of events going on the other continent. But I see how it was necessary to tie the two together, and while using a magic item to teach a lesson is a bit tropey, it worked and wasn't done in a terrible way. Quick read, very excited for the next book.
