A Dragonbird in the Fern by Laura Rueckert
Did not finish book.
[I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book based on uncorrected proof I was kindly given by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.]

Guess who just got another ARC! Hopefully, I can read this before it comes out haha... you just never know nowadays with me. You never know.

DNF at 44%.
I (once again) didn't manage to read this on time, but I don't regret it that much. A Dragonbird in the Fern was written like a fanfiction by a 13yo who is imagining how she could marry her dream prince and go to his kingdom and blah blah blah. I'm always sorry to write a review such as this, but here's the thing: I wasted at least two hours of my life on this, plus the time it takes me to write this and aslo upload it to NG. Not to be too harsh, though, I think that the fact that the MC had dyslexia was interesting, but at the same time it made me so frustrated to read about the fact that she couldn't learn the new language. But it's something that could definitely be represented in books more, instead of performative LGBT rep etc.
