3.5
This graphic novel honestly has an interesting premise, but it feels like too was way too much talking and not enough doing. The main character Clove, is the heir and host to the Cerulean dragon. Her clan and dragon have been locked in a war for several hundred years with their enemies, the Crimson Dragon clan. In an effort to put an end to the war and ensure peace on both sides, she agrees to marry the heir and host of the Crimson Dragon, Kyro. Naturally, they butt heads and don't see eye to eye in the slightest. This story was very trope-heavy in my opinion. I'm not saying that's a negative, but it feels a little bland. I was surprised that there was more political intrigue than I originally assumed there would be. But aside from a lot of conversations, I feel like little to nothing happens in this volume I understand it's only the first volume, and they need to set up the longer plot arcs. But, at least something could be happening, you know?

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
