The Dragon's Tooth by N.D. Wilson

5.0

The Dragon's Tooth is one of the best written modern fantasies I've ever read, which is saying something because I've read hundreds if not thousands of fantasies. While the book is technically aimed at YA readers, N. D. Wilson's writing style is far beyond a typical YA novel. Words flow together with such technical skill that the writing sometimes seems lyrical. Not only is the writing style incredible, but the characters were phenomenal and 3-dimensional. I especially enjoyed Cyrus and Antigone's relationship, which mirrored real sibling relationships with an extra helping of hilarious banter that had me laughing out loud throughout the entire book. In addition to solid characters, the book had incredible action and fantastic world-building, turning the everyday world into anything but boring and everyday. Finally, the book had incredible themes that had me thinking for months after finishing the book. I don't know if I've ever read a fantasy that challenged and inspired me in the same way that Ashtown Burials did. I highly, highly recommend The Dragon's Tooth and the entire Ashtown Burials series. It's a read that is well worth your time.
