After the Dragons was a quiet, thoughtful story that looks at love, grief, and belonging. The narrative alternates between exchange student Eli and dragon expert Kai to tell a slice-of-life story. The synopsis is a bit misleading as After the Dragons raises more questions than it answers but I really enjoyed the contemplative nature of the book. If you like thought-provoking speculative fiction and/or stories about climate change, I'd definitely recommend After the Dragons.
