I couldn’t put this down; the metaphors were thought-provoking and humorous, giving this anti-oppression practitioner an entertaining look at the “what if” of femme-turned dragons living in our time and the responses of a conservative society. I can see myself recommending to others for these reasons, but it won’t be because the writing in this work is particularly splendid.
