I was highly anticipating this book, and it did not disappoint! I loved this world and these characters so much. I loved the first book, Undertaking of Hart and Mercy, but I loved this one a bit more. I buddy read this with Julie (1bookmore), and we both loved it.
One of my favorite aspects of this book is the dragons. Bannen created an interesting world, and I love how she used the dragons. It took me a little bit to understand how she would utilize them in the story, but it was worth it. I have been loving all the dragon stories lately!
Another thing I enjoyed was the ages of Twyla and Frank. It was refreshing to see their perspectives when their kids are grown, about to retire, and just in the middle of life. Twyla is a wonderful mother, but the kids took too much from her. The way her kids treated her for most of the book drove me nuts. There needed to be more respect because they used her as a babysitter for most of their adult lives.
The relationship between Twyla and Frank was just too sweet and pure. I loved seeing how their friendship came about. Their commitment to each other was inspiring. They had some deep bonds, and it took them so long to see what was going on. Their friendship alone was just so beautiful to see. I loved how gentle and forgiving they were with each other.
Many of the characters were great in this one. I was glad to see Duckers, and I'm sure it won't be the last of him. He likes to add dramatic flair. haha. I loved the baby dragon, Mary Georgina! She was a great addition, and I loved her bond with Frank.
Overall, this was a great addition to the series. I loved so much about this one! I think that Bannen had the pacing and world-building down in this book. Twyla and Frank were just too sweet! We also get a little glimpse at our original characters from the first book! I thought this was very charming, heart-warming, and fun.
Thanks to Netgalley and Orbit for an e-arc. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
