To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose
adventurous
inspiring
tense
medium-paced
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? No
4.5
it has the same small issues as Raybearer-- the themes/lessons are often a bit too on the nose, even for YA, and because there is so much happening packed into book 1 of a series, the protagonist has very little time to make mistakes that she can learn from. Redemptor (sequel to Raybearer) solved that for me and I'm hoping Blackgoose will similarly find her stride in a second book.
