A brilliant start to a new fantasy series featuring Indigenous peoples and dragons. Anequs is a brilliant protagonist, and Sander, Theod, and Marta are her lovely classmates and friends. 

Themes of belonging, found family, class inequity, racism, and much more are touched on and I can’t wait to see what happens with Anequs, Kasaqua, her dragon, and the rest of the gang. Grateful that they’re making some allies among the politically powerful, regardless of the fact Anequs stands up for what she believes in, regardless of who is watching/present.
