94. To Shape a Dragon’s Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose
In this episode we discuss the first book in the Nampesheweisit series, To Shape a Dragon’s Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose. We both listened to the audiobook narrated by Charlie Flyte. J starts the show giving it 4.5 stars but revises the rating up to 5 by the end –– this book rocks!
- Recommend if you like…
- How to Train Your Dragon ofc
- Magic school books generally
- Mythology stories. There’s a lot of mythology from Anequs’s people and Norse mythology
- Funny enough, I think if you like this book, you might also enjoy Jane Austen. Both authors are really funny and point out the differences between those from different societies, although it’s about class in Jane Austen, and both poke fun at some of the ridiculousness of traditionRecommend if you like…
- Here’s a short post by Blackgoose about the impact of (the lack of) representation of indigenous characters in SFF.
- Jessie mentions Apple Skin to Core by Eric Gansworth.
