I absolutely adore the relationship between Mira and the dragons! I'm very interested in this noorestone magic and want to see what exactly it can do. I also really liked how much the character and awareness of Mira grew. She was so desperate to get out of the Pit but put other things before that.

I also LOVE THAT THE COVER OF THIS BOOK WITH A PERSON ACTUALLY REPRESENTS THE MAIN CHARACTER! THANK YOU FOR ACTUALLY READING THE CHARACTER DESCRIPTION BEFORE DESIGNING THE COVER!

I really enjoyed the diverse cast and hope that will expand as well (I can definitely see this happening with the political chaos).

This book wasn't perfect but a really fun book overall. I didn't like how the book formatted the lists/options that Mira would have in her monologue. Just seemed very out of place. I also could have done with some more explanation of Altan and his group because I'm not totally clear on how they are enemies other than Altan being the guard. I also think the weird flash back and present day chapter altering that happened at the start was good but then it was just abruptly abandoned and never used again.

This reminded me of Flame in the Mist. It ends with lots of adventure and plot to go but the book itself is a set up to what is to come in the future. Theres lots of focus on politics and what has happened to create this world and it's circumstances. I'm super interested to figure out exactly how the Mira Treaty was used to trick citizens into thinking everything was fine when it obviously wasn't. I hope we are gonna get this ragtag group to Algotti cause...shit is def going down if Mira finds dragons there.
