To Shape a Dragon's Breath

Just finished To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose. I really liked it! If you want anticolonialist indigenous YA fantasy and that manages to make steampunk and dragons synergistic, I'd heartily recommend it. Some classic "misfit at a fancy school" vibes but updated and self-aware.

Some fascinating artistic and worldbuilding choices that took me a while to fully process but in the end I was 100% onboard with. And who doesn't want to get thrust into adventure after being chosen by a baby dragon?
