A fantasy world inspired by pre-Colombian Americas, I find the characters fascinating and the situations challenging. People possessed by gods & deeply annoyed about it. I am eager for the next book. 120

An Indigenous woman imprints on a dragon and has to go to a coloniser run dragon academy. A thinly veiled analogy, and no less delightful for it. I really loved this book.
