The Flames of Hope by Tui T. Sutherland

4.0

The first half of this book really dragged but once they introduced Cottonmouth and the dragon, it got more interesting. It was cool finally learning what the Scorching was and why it happened, and how the two continents are connected. This book wasn't really focused on action, more on history and relationships between characters, which was fine but made the story slower paced than I'm used to from this series. Still thinking about the dragon though, her part of the story and emotional arc was surprisingly touching.
