A Language of Dragons releases on January 7th.
I pre-ordered a special edition of this one with #blackwells #backwellsbookshop
I'm looking forward to that.
In the meantime, I finished this arc. This is a new series. YA historical fantasy, parallel Earth WWI where humans live with dragons.
My review
4.5
Great start. The author establishes the world well. With what we know of history and WWI usage of secret codes and languages, we understand the inspiration. The main character speaks a lot of languages, including the Dragons'. She is clever enough to understand more than decoding a secret one. Evil (human) forces will threaten her family to get what they want from the dragons. She accepts to work for them until she understands the weight of her actions and consequences that can do true harm.
War, prejudice, lack of equality, language, love interest, new friendships, protecting siblings and family, morally grey main character, academy vibes, but also steampunkish. Parallel Earth, WWI, love for languages.
Ps. Awesome pink dragon.
