This standalone fantasy was a slow read for me, taking over a month as I kept getting distracted. But it was worth it in the end. Amazingly vital and visceral descriptions of dragons, creative idea linking religion and dragons, humanistic approach to its characters, and enough dramatic plot reveals to stay interesting. The relationship between the two main characters didn't completely land for me, but that wasn't a ruinous flaw.

For me, this book was so-so compared to other Carol Berg books. It was still a fun read, and if you enjoy dragons or music or gods, you will likely enjoy this book. #fantasy #dragon #music

Fantasy standalones are #underrated imo compared to series. Yeah, series are fun, and there's all that investment. But a good fantasy standalone is delightful. I really enjoyed this one when I read it, and want to reread at some point. And I'm always looking for recs, so please tell me your faves!

Nute Sometimes I hunt purposely for a stand-alone fantasy book, because I don‘t want to invest so much time into a long series. I have read many stand-alone fantasy books that do an amazing job with world building with a moderate page count. 5y
llwheeler @Nute Yes! Sometimes a standalone is exactly what I want. 5y
Kenyazero I enjoyed reading your review, but more than that, wanted to compliment this fun photo! 5y

Iced green tea latte and a bunch of books to sort. Pretty great Saturday morning for this booknerd!

Tagged book is a standalone fantasy that I really liked when I read it a few years ago... hm maybe due for a reread... good thing I have a baby shower to leave for in a couple hours. I need a timeline or I'd get (even more) distracted 🙃
