A Language of Dragons by S.F. Williamson

adventurous emotional medium-paced

4.5

A brilliant study of language, WW 1 & 2 politics and the struggle to do the right thing when the right thing to do is rebel. 

I think this might be the piece of literature people need to read at this moment in time who are struggling to do the right thing. Who are only thinking of themselves, and family and not the whole. this shows the struggle to do what is right. And that even the worst chocies are redeemable.

This book swashbuckled its way straight into my heart. I absolutely loved the story and the narration. Reyna and Kianthe bring true heart, witty humor, and incredible courage to this cozy fantasy. I also appreciate how their relationship is portrayed in such a healthy, authentic way—something I rarely see in both romance and fantasy. The perspectives of Bobbie and Serina add a great layer of introspection, making the story even richer. I can’t wait for the next book!
