A Dragonbird in the Fern by Laura Rueckert
4.0
4.5/5
When I learned that this book had a dyslexic main character I was immediately drawn in. As a dyslexic reader I was thriller to see a fantasy book (my favorite genre) that might accurately represent my own disability.
In terms of the dyslexia representation, this book did not disappoint. I felt like the book did a fantastic job of showing how Jiara’s struggles— both internally and externally— with her learning disability, while also still showing that she is intelligent and how she is able to still achieve what she needs to. This might be the best dyslexia representation I have ever seen in a book.
The plot itself was okay, but didn’t really draw me in. The book was a fast and easy read though. I did end up enjoying it quite a bit.
Thank you to NetGalley and Flux for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review!
