18yo Hanalei studies sea dragons. She has a special connection with them - her father once saved her life using a sea dragon egg. Now her father is gone and she is fending for herself, working for scholars at a school - getting them information about the elusive dragons. But when she is captured by a dragon hunter, she escapes back to her home village, where she must face her past, her friends and the dragons.
An engaging story, more violent than I expected - not a next read for the Wings of Fire crowd as the dragons are hunted and brutally killed, and their eggs stolen. The setting is a Polynesian type archipelago, and tattoos are another magical element to the story. I enjoyed Dragonfruit, plenty of adventure, both seafaring and on land. The characters are islanders.
