This did not age well. The cultural lens is not a good look.

This was ... unfortunate! I read the third book, which I had never read before, and was disappointed to find it racist. Probably the author does not realize it is racist, but it definitely is. A tale of white saviorism, it is wild to me that the heroine, while saving the dragons, finds it important to make clear that the dragons have agency, personalities, and intelligence, but does not do so for people of color. And the part where she literally dyes her skin darker ... yikes. A disappointing end to the trilogy.

Dragon Spear nicely finishes off the Dragon Slippers trilogy.

The take in this book is pretty interesting, but I think it was necessary to address (really) where all the dragons were going to live and not all are what it seems in the dragon community.
