Sutherland's creativity. New dragon types, expanded world-building, intriguing societal structures--literally loved this book.

If you love dragons and adventure and middle grade and fun times, why are you wasting time reading this review right now? Also, the audiobooks are fantastic. Highly recommend this series!!...more
