Synopsis:
If one dragon burned the city of Niversai to the ground in a single night, how would we fare if a hundred besieged our world? Moroda s life is thrown into turmoil after she is publicly arrested her city is destroyed and she narrowly escapes the chaos on a sky pirate s airship. But she finds no salvation outside the blackened city walls; a vigilante from an exiled race has left a trail of destruction everywhere his growing army has travelled. With compulsion at his fingertips, he strengthens his hold over Linaria s people by stealing the power of dragons. It s only a matter of time before she, too, is forced to submit. With war nipping at her heels and danger lurking in her companions and adversaries, Moroda must quickly learn about herself, her world, and the dragons so intent on reducing it all to ash.
Review:
Moroda was a compelling read with rich world building and thoughtful characters. Even though this book focuses on the title character Moroda we do spend some time getting to know all of the characters and I definitely had my favourites.
Obviously I loved the dragons because, well, dragons but I also enjoyed the magic system too. I found that in particular to be unique and am looking forward to exploring that more.
One thing I felt let this book down was the way deaths were handled, at one point it felt like a sidenote which was a shame as I felt the characters deserved more and there were not many lingering reactions or consequences. I also felt the ending was a little abrupt but perhaps this will be picked up in book 2.
Overall though it was a good read and I am looking forward to continuing on with the series.
