The reading experience
Why it stands out.
Clay has grown up underground with the other dragonets named in a prophecy about ending a continental succession war. Their guardians view them as tools, so escape becomes the first choice they make for themselves.
The prose and forward motion suit younger readers, but the competing queens, tribal interests, and wartime consequences give the book more political structure and darkness than its accessibility might suggest.
