The Door Into Shadow by Diane Duane
3.0
As in the first book, this book is a winner for it's fantastic world building, it's beautiful writing style, and the casual queer representation. (Also dragons).
Unfortunately however, the pacing in this one made it super hard to read for me, there was just so much happening, every other page something new happened. It was exhausting. Also unfortunately, Segnbora was just not the character I cared most about in the first book and reading a book simply from her pov was lowkey annoying.
And, as all the other reviewers said,using rape as a plot device just felt unnecessary especially considering the graphic details of it as described by a child
