WE'RE SO BACK!!!! The last book dragged terribly and it took me a month to read it, meanwhile I devoured this one in two days. After the African and Australian indigenous people, we now get to know the Inca Empire, which lasted a few more centuries in this world than ours, likely thanks to the dragons. In this respect the series is less "realistic", but I don't mind at all - I love that our two main characters so loudly go against the British Empire's racist and imperialistic orders, and I love that the indigenous peoples get to thrive with their dragons.

Some old friends are finally back (but I haven't seen Jane in years!!!), and we get to know some feathered Inca dragons, which are really cool. Hammond is less happy about this than I am. Also, the Granby reveal!! I hope we get to see more of Little in the last two books, but we'll see.
