The Stone in the Skull by Elizabeth Bear

4.0

This is a slow book but very enjoyable. The characters are interesting, the world building fresh and gorgeous. There is a delightful mix of science mixed in with the fantastical that was fun to theorize and speculate about. I loved the importance of predicting the monsoons, that dragons appear to be radioactive, and I had no idea what was going on with the sky until half way through the book.

This book is incredibly descriptive, but the world is so interesting I found it very enjoyable. I would say this is the perfect book to read before bed- until the last hour or two when it gets very exciting.

I am looking forward to the next one!
