I’m going to break this down for you by chapters so you don’t have to read this.
Chapter 1 to 2: karate, late for work, miss bus, get fired, lots of descriptions about walking, random parts of LA
Chapter 3 to 4: walk home, find egg, realize bad people will be coming for egg, get ready to run
Chapters 5- 15: on the run, many descriptions about carrying backpack, trying to find food and shelter etc., descriptions about how heavy backpack is and how much feet hurt, running from agents, hungry dragon, dragon pooping in toilet.
Chapters 16- 17: find new trainer,Learn ancestry is half elf half dragon, learn magic, accepts all of this even though didn’t know ANY of things existed yesterday. She’s a natural… eye roll
Chapters 18-19: Found by agents, decides to attack them back with magic, even though outnumbered by agents, manages to win, decides she’s over running and decides that she is going to fight the agents at their homebase.
Chapters 20-23: tracks agent back to base, comes up with brilliant plan (eye roll) involving a birthday-gram singer, posting photos on social media, level of patience- negative
Chapters 24-25: amazing fight scenes with air, dragon breath, and this beautiful line to the “person in charge”… please remember- she has been doing magic for 2 days and found her dragon 20 chapters or 4 days ago…. She is so wise and studied….
“You’re not hearing me,” I replied, growling the words as I took a step forward. “Your agency doesn’t exist anymore. Or at least, I could have made sure it didn’t. The only reason it does—still—is because I have allowed it. If you don’t leave us alone, I will end your agency.”
Also: “Maybe you can, but I defeated all of these with a three-day-old dragon after four training sessions.”
And finally this: I just want to protect this dragon and raise him in safety. He came to me, and I’m some kind of mother now. Mothers do whatever it takes to protect their babies, and I’m doing no less.
Barf, eye roll, don’t read this…
