3 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
In an alternate London in 1923, one girl accidentally breaks the tenuous truce between dragons and humans in this sweeping debut and epic retelling of Bletchley Park steeped in language, class, and forbidden romance. Perfect for teen fans of Fourth Wing and Babel. Dragons soar through the skies and protests erupt on the streets, but Vivien Featherswallow isn't worried. She's going to follow the rules, get a summer internship studying dragon languages, be smart, be sweet, and make sure her little sister never, ever has to risk growing up Third Class. She just has to free one dragon. By midnight, Viv has started a civil war. With her parents and cousin arrested and her sister missing, Viv is brought to Bletchley Park as a codebreaker--if she succeeds, she and her family can all go home again. If she doesn't, they'll all die. As Viv begins to discover the secrets of a hidden dragon language, she realizes that the fragile peace treaty that holds human and dragon societies together is corrupt, and the dangerous work Viv is doing could be the thread that unravels it.

This story takes place at Bletchley Park, 1923. Vivian wants to follow the rules and take care of her sister. One night this changes in the blink of an eye. A lifeline is thrown to Vivian by the prime minister to work as a codebreaker - if she accepts and succeeds her family will be freed.
The more she learns, the more she begins to understand how corrupt the government really is. She has to choose which side she is fighting for.

I‘m not normally a fan of fantasy stories, but I‘m loving this one. Set in 1923 where humans share the world with dragons. It won‘t take me long to finish this!

Thank you to Harper Collins for this ARC. This is my sort of book: a human and dragon world where the people try to decipher dragon language. What is unique about this book is that what you think of in languages becomes second to the real discovery. This extra layer, as well as the way it was “discovered”, was so satisfying. You can tell someone who loves language wrote this book. The war in the background comes forward HARD.
