Booklist - 11/01/2022 *Starred Review* In the aftermath of a war that fractured the realm of Haven, drove dragons close to extinction, and divided magical and nonmagical humans, the fates of four characters are intertwined: Blue, who has the magical ability to smell emotions and who, by an odd turn of events, goes from stable boy to king; River, who seeks to be Lead Harvester of the village and who greets Blue and reveals truths previously unknown to him; Wren, part of the Meraki people who are tied to companion Magics and who live side by side with dragons; and Shenli, a mainlander who must work for Chancellor Cudek as payment for his father's debts and who has been taught to despise magic and dragons. When Meraki island is put in danger, these four must come together to discover the truth about the chancellor and the ongoing war and find a way to heal the realm. Reyes has woven together a deeply magical world where fear smells like wood and oranges, hiccups warn of a great danger, and secrets are hidden in every realm. The rich narrative is full of unforgettable characters who have gone through loss and sadness but are the definition of hope and bravery. This enchanting novel is perfect for readers who love their fantasies with humor and cleverness. Highly recommended. - Copyright 2022 Booklist.
