A review by bookstosoothethesoul
The Sky on Fire by Jenn Lyons

3.5

Okay I loved the world in this book! First of all, it's a world where dragons aren't just human pets, they have immense power and actually exploit humans. It just felt so realistic to what dragons would most likely do if they had that power (rather than just existing to serve human purposes). I loved how morally grey the dragons were. That was a major plus of the world. Second of all, I loved how queernormative the world was! It was so fun to see trans and poly characters accepted as a natural part of the world. I will say I felt like the story took a bit to get started. For a heist novel there was a lot of deliberating and very little action for the first half of the story. Once it got going (and once I switched to audio) I had a much better time. The audio really helped me feel more connected to the characters and feel the tension more which I greatly appreciated. I definitely recommend reading this book that way. 

Thanks to Tor for the ARC!
