"3.5 stars for me, but I think if I’d read this in middle school I’d have LOVED it. A very fun and heartfelt story about dragons, magic, family, chosen family, and heritage."
Reading into the Void
"This had such a unique premise that I couldn’t help but read it. I loved the idea of sports tournaments with dragons, and it was well developed, albeit a bit hard to understand. The teams had a lot of great representation, including POC and lgbtq+ characters. However, I do wish we got more development on this representation, such as how it shaped the characters. But most of them were really multi-sided and developed, especially the unlikable at first characters. But it feels like at some points there were too much characters- it was hard to keep track of most of them. But there’s also no romance, which is refreshing.There was also a good helping of plot twists and excitement in the storyline, even if it focused a bit more on the villain than the actual dragon sports. And the real-world references were also fun- I loved the Law and Order obsession. This was an enjoyable read overall despite some flaws, but I’m unsure if I will read the sequel."
