The dragons want to save Papi. Are you Puerto Rican?? GET THIS BOOK!! Dragon Riders, mofongo, panderetas, and crowds cheering "Boricua!" I was most impressed at the similarities between the main character's relationships with her parents and my own. I was able to relate to so many emotions at a much deeper level than others probably would. I have PLENTY of quotation tabs and fun Puerto Rico reference tabs that I can't wait to share with my siblings. I wish I had this book when I was younger, so much of Lana reminds me of me! I have to remind myself this is a young adult book and hope many of the plot holes will be explained in book 2. To me this book is more of a 4.5. It was close to DNF in the first chapter with the over abundance of adjectives for miscellaneous items. Almost every item seemed to have a description that didn't feel integral to the story. Luckily however this did not continue in the rest of the book and I was able to get sucked into the story. Next we have a young teenager with zero training who is able to figure out every scheme or solution before the government officials or trained dragon riders can... it was a stretch closer to "unbelievable". The plot is extremely unique and I can't wait to start the next book ASAP!
