A review by emma_therabbithole
When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill

3.5

A book club read, this was a slow starter for me and although it did grow on me, there were some elements of the storytelling that really grated. I felt it needed a more thorough last edit as there were several contradictions and things that didn’t quite make sense. However, on the positive side, I loved the relationships between the women, whether complex or loving, this was really well done. And once I was in the story I was really invested, it just took me some time to get there. Definitely out of my comfort zone, but an author I would definitely read again.
