A lovely continuation in this most interesting world. I love that we spend a good bit of time on Nova. It's as beautiful as Loom is logical and I really loved the juxtaposition. We saw in the last book how Cvareh and his dragon-ness stood out on loom, but now we see how Ari stands out in Nova.
.
I really enjoyed how certain prejudices are being slowly broken down between Ari and Cvareh, and even in Flor, but we see the strength of the prejudice in Yavun and Colletta.
.
I also really like how as we see the dark side of the dragons and their rule, we also see that they did indeed bring some good to Loom. And as much as the dragons look down on the Fen, they have come to rely so heavily on their cleverness and industry.
.
There are so many subtle threads in this story, and while the action/pace felt a bit slower in this book compared to the first I really appreciate the care that went into the complexities of the cultures of both Loom and Nova.

This was beautifully written, I really enjoyed this book it was a little slow with lot to learn about Nova .But I felt this book was the building foundation for the final book. I would highly recommend this for readers who is more plot and adventure driven with a hint of romance .

can I marry this book? ... because I'm gonna do it.
I am in awe!
there was so much happening in this book that continues to build a much larger story and coming war. new POVs are introduced that I both loved and hated.
my entire favorite thing in this book besides dragons, duh was the floating islands in Nova. I mean, come on! I'm only heartbroken that they aren't real!

It just got too weird with not enough info to make sense
props to cvareh for, in the middle of the most sexually charged conversation possible and being asked "how do you want me", stopping to consider if the woman even likes men because all her exes are girls. this one's for the girls the gays and cvareh
The Dragons of Nova is the second book in Elise Kova’s Loom Saga, therefore I won’t be summarizing the plot as it might spoil things! The book is still told from the POVs of the three main characters – Arianna, Cvareh and Florence – but the perspectives of Cvareh’s sister Petra and Yveun, who’s the King of Nova, were added!
I loved how that added so much depth to the entire story! Petra and the King are and have always been rivals because they belong to different Dragon Houses. Petra wants to see Yveun dead because she's not okay with the decisions he makes and the power he has over everyone.
Seeing the perspectives of the two rivals was very entertaining because the reader knew more than the respective characters. It kept me on the edge of my seat especially seeing how the characters would react to the betrayal and deviousness!
The Dragons of Nova was a lot more about the actual conflict between the Dragons on Nova and the Fenthri (which are the equivalent to humans) on Loom, as well as the inner conflict on Nova between the King of Nova and Cvareh’s sister! There was a lot of scheming and plotting involved and to me it felt like a game of chess! Most of the book is set on Nova and we see the conflicts and acts of betrayal from 4 different POVs! And even though it was a lot more political, there were still had exciting parts that involved blood, gore, explosives, fights, betrayals and death which was very exciting!
I am a big fan of Elise Kova’s writing style especially when it comes to her world-building. Her descriptions of Nova in this book were so extensive and vivid but it absolutely did not feel like an unnecessary info dump! The “floating islands”, the mountains, the sky, the houses and buildings, all the different colours – it was so beautifully depicted and my imagination was running wild trying to picture all of Nova the way it was described!
Overall, The Dragons of Nova was a perfect sequel to The Alchemists of Loom and it definitely left me wanting more!

A quick review since I didn’t have time for the first one. I like the world and how it feels fleshed out. Both books had stories that made sense with reasons for the characters to do what they were doing. This one felt like it had more waiting and buildup, but the pay off was good.
It’s a fun fantasy novel that really brought me in with a small romance plot. Easy to get lost in without being too much.
