pixin@bookwyrm.social reviewed Dragon Prey by Hannah Steenbock
Love, forgiveness, survival, and dragons
5 stars
A very hopeful, love-affirming book about an old healer who not only establishes communication with dragons, but actually saves her people by building friendships with the creatures that had once thought of humans as nothing but prey.
There is much forgiveness, but also an understanding of the necessity of accepting with offered forgiveness has been refused.
As other reviews noted there's a lot of well-written fights, but for me love, forgiveness, and new lives from the ashes of old are the heart of the story.
