To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose

• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

Would heartily recommend to fantasy readers, particularly Harry Potter fans looking for more dragons and more diverse representation. The interweaving of indigenous mindsets and cultural traits against a colonialist fantasy/magical boarding school backdrop was immersive and refreshing. This is a honker, and I wish I was able to dedicate more time and focus to the audiobook for longer listening sessions to catch even more details. I liked how the queer representation felt natural and authentic. The narration of the audiobook was well-done, if a little distracting with so many voices and accents. I might have enjoyed this one more as text, and am intrigued by the sequel!
