Bardugo does it again. Love how she builds the story and the characters. Totally worth the read, and can’t wait for her next book (whatever that may be😉).

Story
The remote island of Masquapaug has not seen a dragon in many generations—until fifteen-year-old Anequs finds a dragon’s egg and bonds with its hatchling. Her people are delighted, for all remember the tales of the days when dragons lived among them and danced away the storms of autumn, enabling the people to thrive. To them, Anequs is revered as Nampeshiweisit—a person in a unique relationship with a dragon.

Story
Citadel is the only human city on the alien planet Edalide, ruled by the biweekly tides that bring both deadly danger and much-needed resources. But the drowning waters, constant threat of starvation, and eternal cold aren’t the most dangerous challenge. For the Flooded Forest is ruled by demons: monsters from Hell sent by their vengeful god as penance for their ancestors’ rebellion. To save their souls and return to their former glory, Citadel must kill every single one. Or so they believe.

Overall, an enjoyable book. As someone diagnosed with ADHD, I was really interested to see how the author would portray the main character; how this person’s perspective of the world might be described. I think the author did well. There are some elements of the plot that could be further developed, and some of the characters needed further flushing out. However, the main characters developed and changed throughout the book (I DIDN’T find myself frustrated by the main characters constantly making the same mistakes; this is a good thing and helps the reader feel like the story is less predictable and more enjoyable).

Really impressed with characters and dialogue. Science is shaky, but that’s not always important; this was a really fun read. I hope we will see more from Ciel Pierlot.
