Isle of the Dead

The dragons feel both majestic and friendly, which balances adventure with a sense of wonder. I wonder what inspired the author to portray dragons this way for middle-grade readers.

The story's momentum was really engaging, but some parts felt like they dragged. Was that intentional to build suspense or just how the story evolved?

The island feels so alive and atmospheric, which adds a lot of depth to the story. I'm curious whether the setting was inspired by a particular place or legend.
