“Griffin and I slept under the stars, under the light of the full moon. I danced in her glory, taking with me long glistening strands”
**Holy cow. That was better than I thought it would be..
Filled with magic, love, and of course dragons, The Color of Dragons was a very captivating book. Containing two different perspectives, one of the FMC: Maggie, and one of the MMC: Griffin, this story is about friendship and love and how people's views change as life goes on. Maggie is a girl living in the Hitherlands with a father figure magician. Griffin is a well-earned knight at the prince's side living inside the walled city. When Maggie and Griffin meet because of Prince Jori, both their lives are changed forever. While Prince Jori is trying to win Maggie’s favor, she is trying to juggle her feelings for Griffin, freeing a dragon from her past and keeping her father from wavoring out of the king's favor. Maggie holds an unseen power that nobody can ever know about. But when certain people start to find out, she is torn between love and doing what is right.

“He couldn’t feel anything anymore, except an intangible, inexplicable, impossible warmth and peace. If he had to put a name on it, it felt like love.” ( This was probably my favorite quote from this book)

This book started off slow and honestly kind of boring. But I definitely made up for it in the end. At first, Griffin’s chapters were boring until he met Maggie. I made the mistake of actually liking Jori at the beginning and it bit me in the butt later. I think this was 100% worth the read although you might be doubting it for a while in the beginning. There was romance, magic, dragons, plotting, secrets, magical forgotten pasts, and betrayal. My favorite thing about this book was Maggie’s and Griffin’s relationship. It was so adorable so I'm going to share some quotes:

- “And yet, I felt compelled to. “Would you come with me?”
“I would.” He didn’t hesitate. Not in the slightest.”

**Adorable. I love them sm

- Griffin leaned on the chair. “The chair is over here Maggie.”
“Why don’t you sit in it and I’ll try that again?” I smirked at him.
He settled in, wearing his own ridiculous smirk. “You’ll never hit me.”
“Want to bet?”
“Aha…what’s your wager?”
What did I want from Griffin? Not monies. He’d lost too much for me already. “Another Kiss.”
“That’s unfortunate.” He sighed, my heart breaking ever so slightly. He winced. “That would’ve been my wager too.”

** Their bantering is even more adorable. Basically, this book was great. I actually think it would make a great movie. Yes, the plot was kind of predictable…But I didn’t even notice that until I finished the book. I was too wrapped up in the dragon stuff and the powers and the actual plot at the moment. This book gets some emotions out of you and I definitely recommend it.

“ They camped along the roads I had been so afraid to travel. Lit bonfires in celebration. They sang songs about the dragon, the moon child, and the champion.” 4.3 stars

(the last line of this book was actually really cool and super interesting but I can’t put it on here because it's a huge spoiler)
