netthauser 's review for:

Navola by Paolo Bacigalupi
4.0
challenging dark slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Intricate worldbuilding and a naive POV make this dense book challenging to start. The supporting characters add depth and interest and the plot ramps up toward a lengthy conclusion. Quite enjoyed it, end of day, and the dragon aspect was sparse and compelling.
