This book has many tropes of YA fantasy, with a chosen one heroine off to attend dragon school, where she will inevitably turn the world upside down - except it’s not just that. I appreciated all the representation in this book: an indigenous queer woman, surrounded by friends, one who is Black and queer, one with a disability, one with a traumatic past. Once I got past the vocabulary, it was a fast read that touched on themes of colonialism, racism, and xenophobia. There’s also strong themes of family loyalty, found family, taking a stand, and social justice. Looking forward to seeing the dragons in action in the next book.
