Blazewrath Games by Amparo Ortiz
3.0

What this book has going for it:

-Dragons. Need I say more?
-Cast of very diverse characters. One of the teams has all queer characters on it. Such great representation throughout this book.
-No main romance plot! How often can you say that in YA fantasy?
-Magical tournaments and just magic in general. This was a unique spin on that, and I thoroughly enjoyed that aspect of the book.

All of those things combined make this a great read! However, at times, the plot had too much going on, I felt. There were things I wished were saved for a second book that could have cleared up the plot a bit. For me, it felt like the plot lost its way halfway through the book, and then came back in the end.

An overall enjoyable read that I would recommend to any dragon fans! A good readalike to Fireborne if you enjoyed that book!
