Review:
Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I can't do it. I can't finish this book. I’ve picked it up and tried to read it exactly seven different times over the last four months.
I can't make it past page 66.
Of course I feel awful about it (even more so because it is an ARC), but it just isn't engaging enough to keep reading. Our heroine, Zarela, felt like every other YA fantasy heroine with a dead mom and daddy issues. While I loved the dragons and the Spain-inspired setting, pretty descriptions aren’t enough to save a book for me, and this one relied far too much on ✨Spanish dragon aesthetic✨ at the expense of the characters and story.
I’m genuinely sorry about it, but this one’s gonna have to be a no from me :(
