Shadow Scale by Rachel Hartman
5.0
The fact that this book took me months to read should not be interpreted as a strike against it; rather, I suspect it was because I had so many emotions invested within that I did not want to risk them being disappointed.
And that was absolutely an unfounded view to have, it turns out. I want to hold this book up as a shining example of all that fantasy can achieve: well-rounded female characters, developed romance, trans characters, gay characters, disabled characters- the list goes on and on. And, oh yeah, it's got dragons!
To cut a long story short, I will be peddling this series to anyone who asks for recommendations.
