Shadow Scale is an excellent companion to Serafina. We learn more about Serafina and about the other half dragons, and extend our cast of characters. There’s a wider political story and a minor underlying love story as well. The villain is formidable, the protagonist flawed and admirable, and the world building extraordinary. I effortlessly recommend any Rachel Hartman book, and Shadow Scale is no exception.

Characters also experience: misgendering (once, challenged), exile, and body theft/possession. There is a polygamous romance (minor).amelia_m's review against another edition
