To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose

4.5

In an alternate historical fantasy world, Anequs chooses to leave her remote island village and join the steampunk-esque world of the Anglish. As she trains with her dragon at an esteemed Anglish academy, the contrast is stark between these two colliding worlds. Anequs' story is a bildungsroman reminiscent of The Name of the Wind, but enhanced with commentary on colonialism, and queer, Indigenous identity.
