Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me review this book. This was another action packed read from Graci Kim! I loved the various words thrown in the book with their origin and meanings. I love that Aria takes a stand for herself and doesn’t let either of her parents decide for her. I love how the book weaves magic and myth.

Aria Loveridge has grown up knowing that she was born with a dangerous genetic mutation that accesses a magical realm, that her mother was killed during an outbreak of this magic and that has worked very hard to help her suppress her powers. Then she finds out everything she ever thought was true is wrong.
Fantastic magical story! Aria is a great protagonist caught between many choices. I love that she doesn’t over-react when faced with choices, is stubborn and loving. I’m looking forward to more in this series.

Thank you to NetGalley and Disney Publishing Worldwide for this DRC.

Wow!!! This book was amazing! It used a delightful creative blend of magical world building mixed with Korean traditions. As someone who has always had vivid dreams, the concept of a whole other dream world is really incredible and intriguing. Middle graders will fall in love with this series (and the idea of having their own baby bloom dragon!).
