Dragon Flight by Jessica Day George

---

Yayyy first time finishing a book in one day in a while! Enjoyable but finishing this not long after The Woman Who Rides Like a Man really has me thinking...what is with the amount of late 20th/early 21st century middle grade/YA fantasy sequels featuring the protagonists going to an Orientalist fantasy analog of "vaguely Middle Eastern country"? Seriously, I'm fairly sure there are several more books I read as a kid that also had this trope. This one is least felt marginally less racist than TWWRLaM...marginally.
