Of Dragons, Feasts and Murders by Aliette de Bodard
3.0
3.5 stars
I think for the right person, this would have been a 4 star read. But I generally hate to read things out of order and while this is billed as a standalone novella, I really felt the lacunae where relationships and character dynamics had been fleshed out in other books in the series. The dragon court and its politics are clearly drawn, but while I enjoyed Thuan and Asmodeus, I wanted more explanation about their relationship and backstory (which I'm sure the other books in the world give).
