A Language of Dragons' gives us Hunger Games vibes in a post-WWI world where dragons speak human tongues. The dystopian setting hits familiar YA notes, but offers enough novelty to stay interesting.
The protagonist is divisive – teacher's pet smart and ambitious, but with enough depth to make her compelling, unlike the supporting cast which are two-dimensional.
The book's biggest flaw? Despite promising an epic civil war between dragon-human factions, we mostly get stuck in a house with teenagers learning about the conflict through radio broadcasts.
