5.0

no other world has feel as intriguing and inviting as jo walton's tooth and claw for me. wish there were other books in this universe.

the subtlety of old customs, as told by a janeaustenesque narrator, carried by a high society of dragons not only works as a firm structure for the well written cast of characters, it also leads the reader to a slow understanding of how everything work. mostly.

actually, no. i've got more questions than answers but in a good way.

can i have more, please?

also, let felin say fuck.

I enjoyed this story. The characters, the lore, the drama. However, the pacing felt rushed after about 2/3 through. The ending consisted of several abrupt moments of resolution, wrapped up in a bullet point-like way. A couple endings were a little outrageous, and makes me wonder what was the point of worrying over the previous 300 pages. Despite the ending, I enjoyed the book and do recommend it to Fantasy and Victorian lovers as well as Wings of Fire fans. I’ll be on the lookout for Walton’s other books.
