I really enjoyed this story. A mix of colonialism - but what if it were Norse/Scandinavian steam punk instead? The author did a great job of highlighting how the native people were thought of "less than" just because they valued different things in life. Then throw dragons into the mix and you have a bit of chaos. Anequs does an amazing job of navigating all the new people and situations life throws her way - and I wish I had her way of thoughtful speaking when I was younger.
