To Shape a Dragon's Breath | Moniquill Blackgoose

pick

This book was a mixed bag for me. On one hand, is has good characters, lovable dragons, and an infuriatingly realistic depiction of racism. On the other hand, I felt like the story was a little lacking and not terribly original and the naming of things was very distracting (it‘s an odd mix of the same words we use, slightly tweaked words like Anglish, and completely different ones for existing things). Between pick and so-so.

A fantastic follow-up to fourth wing… I love this world of dragon riders and can‘t wait for the next installment!

AmandaBlaze I have 30 checked out. lol 2w

emz711 @AmandaBlaze omg! Do you read quickly or did something happen? 2w

AmandaBlaze @emz711 I read pretty quickly, but there are some that have been renewed several times. A lot of them are a backlog of when I had bronchitis and couldn't do anything, including reading. I'm all better now and ready to dive in. 2w

emz711 @AmandaBlaze I have to see this pile! 2w

I listened to this on audible, and it was really good. The narrator sang the songs and I think that helped add a lot to the story.
Seraphina must navigate being half dragon, a forbidden person who must hide constantly, when political intrigues and romances threaten not only her existence, but the peace between the kingdoms.
4/5 read for a smart, interesting MC, with light romance and complicated family. Good world building.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I get the hype, I really do. However, the very prominent and frequent lusting of the two main characters and graphic scenes kind of took away from how good the rest of the book was. Also the romance between Violet and Xaden felt a bit immature at times, especially towards the end. There were several majestic moments and plot points that I absolutely loved, and the cliffhanger demands for the sequel to be read.

robinb This was a 4⭐️ for me as well. I had an issue with the amount of vulgarity in it. The storyline could have survived without it. 2w

Gryffleclaw95 @robinb I completely agree! I definitely think that the book would have been so much better without it. 2w
