In the land of Draconis, there are no dragons.
Once, there were. Once, humans and dragons were friends, and created the great city of Rivven together.
But then came the Dragon Storm, and the dragons retreated from the world of humans.
To the men and women of Draconis, they became legends and myth.

The foster care history, the realistic depictions of trauma, the panic attacks, the anger, WHY IS THIS SERIES SO GOOD 😭😭😭 I am so glad I picked this up for my child on a whim
HA, ik wist het wel. Benieuwd hoe dat verder zal gaan! En dit hele deel was echt top. Leuk om meer over Erin te weet te komen, blij dat Connor ook inziet dat hij een eikel was, tof om een nieuwe plek en nieuwe mensen te leren kennen (plus nieuwe items, mag ik die trooststeen ook even lenen?). Ik vloog er gewoon in een keer doorheen. Heerlijk!
I really liked this from the adult perspective as Erin is coded neuro divergent and it is well done. I think some of this was lost on the audience on this occasion!
