A review by llincathryn
The Princess Who Flew with Dragons by Stephanie Burgis

5.0

Just like the two previous books in the series, this one's biggest strength is its flawed but deeply lovable heroine. Stephanie Burgis writes characters that I really want to root for even when they're making mistakes, and Sofia is no exception. I sank right into her perspective - her yearning for affection and her uncertainty about her place in her family and the world hit me really hard, and I also loved seeing her widen her worldview and confront some of her prejudices.

That said, TPWFWD has a million other things going for it - sweet friendships, complicated but loving family relationships, dragons, philosophy, politics, an unabashed pro-immigration slant, and a gorgeous fantasy city to explore.

This book is a fantastic adventure but it's also so full of heart and truth. I've loved spending time in this world.
