Cast in Secret by Michelle Sagara

5.0

The world building in this series is just so on point! It just gets better and better! In book three, Kaylin is asked to investigate a theft and a kidnapping. When it is brought to the attention of Lord Sanabalis, dragon tutor extraordinaire, he decides that Kaylin needs to engage in a series of research field trips. As Kaylin and Severn find themselves in the middle of a world ending prophecy, the biggest hurdle to keeping the city safe may be Kaylin's own fear. In a complex exploration of humanity's fear of discovery and racism, this novel would have a place in the current political climate of 2020 USA. It has some powerful lessons about forgiveness and hope for future generations that would also be apropos.
