lightreadsThe Sky on Fire
3/5. Fantasy set in a world where dragons pair with riders, but the riders aren’t the ones in charge. A ragtag group of dragons and riders and thieves and dissidents get together to do a big heist on the evil head dragon for reasons, then stuff happens.
This is okay, but did not excite me. That is sad because it features the development of a polyamorous triad, which is my jam, but not this unsatisfying iteration. See also other things I like: heists, dragons, a queer-norm and kink-norm world, and yet, eh. It’s fine. I DNF’d her other fantasy series, so maybe I should just cut my losses here.
I would be curious to know if anyone else who read this found the back third kind of disorienting? Did I miss a step, or was the book casually connecting threads that just did not meet?
Content notes: Violence, graphic description of falling and fear of heights.
