This first chapter really drew me in and made me want to know more about Eldoria. Lyra's feeling of being an outsider and her yearning for something more felt very relatable. The discovery of the locket and the cryptic message was a fantastic hook. Sarah Griffin's writing style creates a magical atmosphere that's easy to get lost in. I'm definitely interested in reading the rest to see Lyra's journey unfold. The concept of belief shaping reality is a cool idea to explore further. Can't wait to see where this story goes and what secrets the dragon holds. The contrast between her village and the enchanted forest was very well done. I think others who enjoy a bit of fantasy and a strong female lead would like this.
