Rage, anger and a need to be seen and heard turns unsatisfied, unhappy women into dragons. So much to love about this book. Took me a while to truly get into it but around the 40% mark I fell into it deeply. Not usually my kind of thing, I don't generally enjoy fantasy or a make believe world but the themes of love, sisterhood, family and the celebration of librarians and libraries carried me through this one.
