pickI wish this kind of read was available when I was a teenager!
As a book about a girl and her dragon, this book was splendid fun. As a book about an indigenous island girl and her endangered species dragon, this is the kind of book I've been waiting for...as an indigenous reader, this fantasy is a treasure 📚🐉💖.
I prefer books without battles, but some may find this a bit slow paced.

This book is a horror story! Well, not literally...but as a Native American reader, this is a horror story... especially with the current political climate.
The prejudice that Anequs faces is INFURIATING. This is a reimagined world, yet the prejudice echoes from my ancestral history...and now the reality we are all facing today.

This Viking ruled world continues to feel more English than Nordic or Scottish?? Perhaps this rule comes from the Normans?? I'm enjoying this nonetheless 🐉📚💝. On Page 81

When I'm freaking out about reality, and my current read takes me to the one magical place that always feels safe and cozy...a bookstore 📚💝.
My previous book review was long because I didn't keep up with my posts as I read...I will try to do better.
Not thrilled about the threat to Kasaqua's life if Anequs fails.
I expected a world ruled by Vikings to be a little different...
Loving the steampunk vibes!

Thank You @TheSpineView for creating this fun play-card & for the tag 💕🐎📚.
1- I've four books that I'm currently reading. Been focusing on “Bless Me, Ultima,“ by Rudolfo Anaya. While not a favorite, it's an interesting read.
2- I began “The Blast from the Past,“ by Lucy Score & “Terciel & Elinor“ by Garth Nix. Triple excited about both, yet haven't really read too many pages/chapters into these stories because I really want them to last.

Thank you @Cupcake12 for creating #WhereAreYouMonday.
I am on the Island of Masquapaug in a reimagined world based on a what-if history 🌍🥚🌎🐉🌏.
Love it when fantasy books include maps 🆒🗺️🤩💝.
My current reads...
I've finished Murtagh, which I will review this weekend.
Just realized the book, To Shape A Dragon's Breath is 511 pages...a BitsyChunkster! It's the first book in its series.
The long awaited (for me to purchase) Bless Me, Ultima. A standalone novel.
The Third Book in the Riley Thorn mysteries.
The Sixth Book in the Old Kingdom series.
I was trying to keep away from books that capture some of the darkness that is now our crazy, chaotic reality.
If this book would have been available before these dark times, I wouldn't have been as disturbed by the unjust society that Anequs and her dragon Kasaqua must journey through.

Unsettling, yet beautiful.
This world was well developed and incredibly detailed. All the characters were crafted with care and respect.
I would have liked more time on the island and learning more about the traditions there. Perhaps in the second book.
The MC Anequs held the resilience and dignity from real life Native Nations.

I am also hoping that we readers get to travel to the unconquered lands, meet the tribal people there, and learn more about the indigenous methods of working with Dragons.
This storyline is incredible.
There are 511 pages divided into 87 unmarked chapters.
