I enjoyed this dragon-infused story with its magical twists and romantic tension. The way racism is shown and dealt with throughout the story is well done and adds to the conflict. The perfect balance of real-world problems woven with fantasy world magic makes this an excellent read. Forgiveness is a main theme along with sacrifice which is a wonderful combo in my opinion.
Scoresheet:
Violence: Mild, most happens behind closed doors but is still present. Abuse and trauma are more prevalent. There is a torture scene but is done in a non-graphic way and (spoilers) the effects do not last.
Romance: No spice. A couple does share a bed and cuddle at one point but nothing sexual. A female character does sit on a male love interest’s lap, but it is done in a classy and tasteful way.
Morals/Worldview: Secular with good morals
Recommended reading age: 15+
