The Teacup Dragon Sanctuary (Starling Island #1) by Jessica

Blurb:
✨ Every
lost soul can find a home on Starling Island… ✨
When apothecary Portia Starling clashes with the Academy, she
knows exactly how it will end. With her family’s notorious reputation, someone
has to take the blame – and it’s going to be her. So, reluctantly, she
retreats to Starling Island – a place she hasn't considered home in years – to
await news of her future.
Noah Turner has always dreamed of travelling north to study
the great dragons of Elanholm. However, as a vet with no magic, funding his
research feels impossible. But when an opportunity arises to help at Iris
Starling’s dragon sanctuary, he can’t afford to turn it down. If he can prove
himself there, he might finally reach his dream.
Portia and Noah immediately dislike one another. Noah assumes
Portia is an entitled Academy poser, collecting dragons as a trend, while
Portia finds him bossy and overbearing. But with the lives of the poor, sickly
rescue dragons on the line, can they see past their differences?
My review:
Magic rules in this exciting first in a series. This fun
fantasy revolves around dragons, teacup dragons, magic and sadly politics
academic and otherwise. I fell head over heels for Portia and the other denizens
of Starling Island. Portia isn’t perfect but she is smart, driven and real. The
teacup dragons are adorable and Noah is redeemable. I thoroughly enjoyed this
tale and look forward to more adventures in this world.
