thatbookhoarder 's review for:
The Dragon of Ynys
by Minerva Cerridwen
First of all thank you NetGalley and Atthis Arts for providing me a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
I thought the writing was absolutely amazing, the author really fit in so much connection between characters in only a few pages. The book also read very smoothly to me.
The only thing I disliked was the forced representation. I absolutely think lgbt+ characters being normalised in literature is important, but this was often just a bit overkill to me. Not the amount of lgbt+ characters bothered me but how they were treated like they were oh so soft and special babies. They can just exist and be normalised without making it a big deal in my opinion.
That being said, I did enjoy the reading experience and when I noticed the author was Belgian I needed to check it out.
