I enjoyed learning more about the individuals in this universe and seeing the dragonets of destiny evolve further. I thought Tsunami had excellent character development, and we learned a lot about her as a young dragon, as well as her feelings regarding her fellow dragonets and the seawing kingdom. The author did an excellent job explaining the places, tones, and atmospheres without overwhelming readers with too much information. The writing was simple but entertaining and informative. This book's plot was quite well thought out, and I enjoyed it. The mystery of who was murdering Queen Coral's heirs was intriguing, adding a good sense of intrigue and suspense to the plot while also providing insight into the power dynamics of the seawing kingdom. I liked this book better than the first because there was less information dumping and more character and plot progression. I'm enjoying this series and intend to continue with it.
