Book Review: A Language of Dragons – S. F. Williamson In a world where humans and dragons live side by side, the terms of their coexistence governed by a peace agreement, protests break out on the streets of London. Vivien Featherswallow isn't too concerned - after all, she's following all the rules and doing everything right, studying dragon tongues in order to eventually get a coveted internship. But when her parents are arrested for being rebels, she takes a desperate step that ends up starting a civil war. To save her family, Viv agrees to a mysterious job at Bletchley Park for the government - a top secret codebreaking effort is underway and if she can succeed, she and her family can all go home. It all seems quite straightforward at first, discovering the workings of a secret dragon language that will help them win the war, but as she begins to learn more about the truth of the world she lives in, the class system and the real meaning behind the hidden language, she grows increasingly doubtful about the work she is doing, and whether she is even on the right side of this war. http://worldsunlikeourown.home.blog/2026/01/04/book-review-a-language-of-dragons-s-f-williamson/
