Saki‘s usual nighttime ritual involves wiggling around on his back in the middle of the living room.

MY usual nighttime ritual involves whatever I‘m reading. Tonight, that‘s THE MOUNTAIN CROWN by Karin Lowachee, in advance of its sequel. HOW am I the only person who‘s ever posted about it on here? It‘s great! And it‘s short! Everyone should read it!

THE MOUNTAIN CROWN strikes the perfect balance between subtle and direct. A lot goes unvoiced, but never unsaid, and while there may be a few easy answers, there are no easy solutions. Lowachee digs into how the trauma her characters endure impacts everything about how they see the world and negotiate their place in it. The more I think about it, the more I like it.

Highly recommended, especially if you want new angles to human-dragon bonds.

I‘m still in a major fantasy mood, and I couldn‘t resist starting THE MOUNTAIN CROWN while I cooked and ate my fake shakshuka. It‘s exactly what I feel like: layered and immersive, with strong worldbuilding and a big anticolonial stance. I‘m gonna enjoy this.
