First off... Dragon Riding. Brings me back to my love of How to Train Your Dragon. This had all of those vibes but with a deeper and more in-depth background of Annie and Lee. I enjoyed the author's abilities to create a vivid landscape of this world and craft such intricate histories for the characters. This is a slow read with building secrecies and hidden lies. I don't always mind a slow building read and this is one of those instances where I enjoyed the pacing and detail put into building this first book. Some parts are slow and others are action packed as a whole. When there is action it is utterly engrossing. Munda knows how to write an action scene for sure! There are themes of class, poverty and political strife. Looking forward to the next book for sure.
I'd recommend this to all those who enjoy books with dragons and want to slowly savor a read.
