My Review:
The story felt so powerful and immersive, especially with the way the dragon spirit and mythology were woven in. I loved following Meilin as she navigated everything thrown at her, and her strength really stood out. The stakes felt high the entire time, and the mix of politics, magic, and emotion kept me completely hooked. Such a captivating continuation of the series.
