Evan Winter might be my new favorite author! The Rage of Dragons has set a new bar, it redefines what a 5 star rating is for me. I might just go back and lower the score on my other 5 star reads.
This book is a surprising source of inspiration.

I thought for what was supposed to be a matriarchy, the writing did convey some typically male-dominant narratives such as when Tau refers to a woman character he meets towards the end of the book as a "child" and continues to infantalise her despite acknowledging that they are about the same age and height, as well as other bits of dialogue throughout. A high level of reverence is given to women in this fantasy but their representation didn't always hit the right notes.Â
I was however, pulled into the story and the ending lends itself nicely to the sequel.
