So good. I have never had this many emotions about knots and I'm still puzzling out the meaning of all the metaphors related to dragoning. Plus I loved the surrealist/absurd way society reacted to dragons and how they interacted with the world (some move to Jupiter and some put on lipstick and bake). It almost reminded me of the whimsical way the Harry Potter books described muggles interacting with the Wizarding world.
