5/24/2023 0 Comments Pupil julie kagawaI was tired of rules and isolation, of watching the world go by without me. She's rebellious! She wants freedom! She wants to go to the beach and chill and have friends, yo. There is literally no distinguishing her from every other rebellious teenager ever besides for the fact that she can turn into a dragon. Instead, I got a main character who's a dragon but really just wanted to fit in with the humans. They breathe fire, they kill people, they're awesome! I wanted a main character like that. I could tell from the first few chapters that this wouldn't be a book I enjoyed, and the fact is reinforced throughout the story. Fuck, I liked the much-reviled and oftentimes stupid Meghan in the Iron Fey series, I overlooked the tragic love triangle, because those books were fun. This book was only marginally better, and only so due to Kagawa's writing. So my standards weren't high to begin with. Last week I read the fantastically craptastic Firelight which was essentially Twilight with dragons. I fully expected to enjoy this book, or at least find plenty of entertainment value, given that it was written by Julie Kagawa. Read my theories at the end, those who have read this series, and tell me if I'm wrong. I have theories about what happens throughout the rest of the book.
