"I need you to remember that I'm king Il's daughter. Even if everyone else in the kingdom forgets."

in this fifth volume, we see yona and her crew searching for a third dragon. with white and blue at her side, they believe the green dragon will be at the port town. but upon arriving, yona starts to see the world that her father ruled differently. how people and towns were/are suffering under his power and choices to do nothing, and this is this first installment we really get to see yona thinking about the leader she would like to be.

i loved the blue dragon and the power of names, i love hak and yona and every conversation they have, and i just really still love ao with my whole heart. this wasn't my favorite installment, which feels extra wrong to say because this one has some pretty cool pirates, but i am still so happy i decided to start this series in 2023 and i can't wait to keep continuing on!
