"Holy **** I did not expect this at all, but this is absolutely now my favorite book of all time. I will write more later, but just... wow. Thank you Nahoko for writing this and thank you Cathy for translating."
Reading into the Void
"This book is a little slow paced but it makes you fall in love with the main character and the royal beasts. Definitely recommend if u love fantasy animals. This book is all about a girl who forms an unlikely bond with an animal that’s like a wolf dragon called a royal beast and the politics surrounding these animals. U follow the main Character Elin from 10 years old until 20 years old."
