I had to sit down with this review for a while because I wanted to be as fair as possible, so here are the things I enjoyed about this book:
First and foremost I love reading a Latinx author being Latinx myself. I also loved that it was based in Spain and was so culturally rich. Another thing I loved was dragons! And a love interest that shared my same ideals.

What I didn’t like however was that basing the story in Spain the author decided to include bull fighting as “dragon fighting” and glorifying a barbaric tradition along the way when many places in the world are still fighting to end such cruel practices. The way the dragon fighting is described is exactly as you would do it for bull fighting (skimmed of course) and it made me sick to my stomach. 
The author tried to make us side with the humans in the name of dragons being wild dangerous creatures and dragon fighting being an art from and a tradition, going as far as to try to make the protestors of this practices the bad ones, and not once the main character wonders why the dragons behave that way (spoiler alert the humans started the war with dragons and they retaliated), and she does her best to try to keep her dragon fighting arena open.
This brings me to the main character: I just couldn’t like her, she tried to live in her parents shadows while excusing every single thing they ever did, and it just bugged me. I did appreciate that she didn’t sit down to cry and instead took matters into her own hands so there’s that, but she was also incapable of admitting her fathers and even her own faults in what happened during their show and blamed basically everyone else in the book, so the lack of accountability really annoyed me.

Now a little bit of spoilers but it’s important to make a full review: the author is aware of the objectionable practice “dragon” fighting is, hence protestors and a love interest who refuses to kill dragons even though he’s a dragon hunter (still not great, but in the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king I guess) and she does fix this somewhat at the end, with the main character changing the whole show and the epilogue showing a more humane relationship with dragons moving forward, but sadly this didn’t happen until I reached 96% of the book and feeling sick to my stomach for 96% of the book prevents me from giving a better rating, which is unfortunate because the author had a fun original idea that if it had focused more on the morality of their actions and not in keeping traditions alive she could have not only have a fun story but a commentary on animal cruelty.

I was given an advance readers copy by Wednesday books in exchange of my honest review
