Thank you to Harper Collins for my e-review copy. My opinions are my own.
Dragons, alternate history, 1920’s, class system, London, and a plot to over throw the government… and did I mention dragons?
My thoughts:
I really enjoyed reading this story and regret not reading it sooner. It’s fast paced, filled with interesting characters, dragons that aren’t necessarily good or bad guys, borderline bad guys, out right evil people, a social class system that is a slippery slope, multiple languages, and code breaking. I was interested in the story and then hooked when the characters met up at Bletchley and more of the history of what is actually going on came to light.
I liked the dragons, especially since they have their own languages, Viv has the audacity to want to be a dragon translator, and then figures out a massive secret regarding the dragons. I'm intrigued as to what will happen next given where the story ends.
Highly recommend!
