bowienerd_82 's review for:

Empire of Ivory by Naomi Novik
3.0

Mixed feelings about this one- there were a lot of good, emotive scenes involving the dragons and their captains over the dragon sickness, and the ending was particularly heart-wrenching (and of course, an epic cliffhanger).

But I feel like the author wasn't quite as comfortable or knowledgeable about the Africa of the early 1800s, and that detracts from the book a bit.
