I followed Vivien Featherswallow; an aspiring linguist in her venture to secure an internship to study dragons languages for her family’s stability within the rigid class system. When her parents were arrested as a rebel, Vivien has to accept a position as a codebreaker to decipher a hidden dragon language for an exchange to her family’s safety. Few incidents have led Vivien to uncover the unsettling truths about her government and with the upcoming civil war, Vivien now having an afterthought about her parents’ stance and of which side she should have to choose.\n\nLoved how the exploration was gripping and intense since from the beginning. Bleak and gritty worldbuilding with vivid details on its political and societal parts coupled with Vivien’s friendship mess with Sophie. The secrets of their backstories get me invested and I loved how the execution interlaced the tensions with its intricate linguistic conflict due to Vivien’s task as well her first love story with Atlas. Bit heartbreaking on the authoritarian control and class system crisis; those strict biased rules were upsetting but enthralling much to see how Vivien and her friends decided to fight amidst the uprising and oncoming civil war.\n\nEngaging characterization for Vivien, loved Marquis and Atlas as well Chumana, the pink dragon that giving me much insights into the dragon society. A balance of thrills and actions following the war scenes, of dragon soars and protests, too chaotic but I liked how it still emphasized that beauty and flaws of a language despite all the madness and fights during the war. \n\nHeard there’ll be a sequel later so perhaps I might go getting it as well cause that pink Bolgorith dragon on the last scene with a boy on its talons intrigued me much. 4\u002F5*\n\n**review copy courtesy of Times Reads, thank you!","none","rv-01kr81h02xh2kqx5qmr3m3nkvv",[],"2026-05-10T04:15:01.000000Z",{"first":7,"last":7,"prev":7,"next":7},{"path":165,"per_page":166,"next_cursor":7,"prev_cursor":7,"has_more":18},"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fapi\u002Fworks\u002F01kr81gxzewkgpa18w2ajje7hk\u002Freviews",20]
