The Poison Jungle by Tui T. Sutherland
5.0
This book was r e a l l y g o o d.
Okay here’s some reasons why (on top of a crap ton of other things)
I think the PoisonWings vs. SapWings debate(Is that what you would call it?) showed to very different ways people respond to crises and disasters and also showed compelling reasons why neither approach was really the best way to respond. It really made me think.
Also, the way Tui wrote Willow and Sundew was so gloriously natural. I understand the complaints about having “too much romance” or “Sundew is completely different in this book” although I don’t agree with them. (Darkstalker’s book was mostly romance and no one complained about that?) Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that, to me, it didn’t feel like Tui put this lesbian relationship in just as “wow look at me I’m with the times.” It feels natural and although the relationship is opposed by some dragons, it’s not because it’s a lesbian relationship. It’s treated like a normal relationship, which is exactly the way it should be treated. I feel this is a wonderful way for kids (or adults) to be introduced to a part of the LGBTQ+ community.
