A review by brenana
Darkness of Dragons by Tui T. Sutherland

4.0

this has spoilers lmao

a sliiiiightly lower rating than what i usually give the series
but still good
i loved reading from qibli's pov, he's just so clever and his mind is EVERYWHERE at once its so fun
there were a couple of plots that kinda were dropped at the end
like prickle????? girl where u at
and then the deal w onyx was never really closed up like is she still wanting to be queen or
and vulture where the fuck did he poof off too
the big thing for me tho was i was slightly disappointed by the defeat of darkstalker??? i felt like there was a lot of effort put in to make us see that darkstalker isnt totally bad and for the audience to feel conflicted like moon, but he was never given a chance to reach closure, it was kind of forced on him
i would have much preferred if it was his choice to eat the strawberry, as a sort of acknowledgment that he was not good and to see him grow a bit in an attempt to start again since he didnt have anything to fight for (we see that internal debate a few times, like he mentions once or twice that he doesnt know if its worth it to be kind w/o clearsight)
his convos w qibli were so fun, tho, i never thought of them being similar but dam
overall tho super fun as usual
the reveal at the end was unf like give me more dragons thaNks
