elly29 's review for:
Empire of Ivory
by Naomi Novik
I liked it. I feel like we're finally hitting a stride. I mean, it was predictable, but I really like reimagining what sub-Saharan Africa would have looked like with dragons. (Or, taming things like elephants for animal husbandry.) It should be radically different.
Plus, I loved the culture. The spirits of their greatest leaders are "reborn" into dragons, who then love and protect people as if they were truly their descendants? And while still in their eggs the dragons are told the memories of the departed, so they grow up their entire lives feeling and being someone's father, grandmother, grandparent? I am on board for that.
