Our Review

This graphic novel adaptation brings the high-stakes world of Pyrrhia to life through dynamic artwork that captures the tension between Peril's deadly firescales and her developing conscience. Young readers will be drawn into this dragon adventure where loyalty is tested and difficult choices must be made, as Peril confronts her violent past serving Queen Scarlet while trying to protect her new friends at Jade Mountain Academy. The visual storytelling makes complex themes of redemption and moral growth accessible to middle grade readers through expressive dragon characters and action-packed sequences.

What sets this installment apart is its focus on a deeply flawed protagonist wrestling with her own dangerous nature and the consequences of her actions. The graphic novel format particularly serves this character-driven story, allowing readers to see the conflict in Peril's expressions and body language as she struggles to redefine herself beyond being a weapon. Fans of fantasy series and dragon lore will appreciate how this volume develops one of the saga's most complicated characters while advancing the overarching series narrative. The compelling artwork and emotional depth will keep young readers turning pages until the very end.
