SEASON OF THE DRAGON is a masterclass in world-building and a triumph for dragon lovers and feminists everywhere.
Strong female characters dominate this world, from the heroes to the villains, and I found myself drawn in by all of them and their dimensionality. Woman power weaves this story, intertwining threads of love and those of destruction, with the most satisfying moments focusing on the struggle for freedom, equality, and autonomy.
Each new place Wright introduces us to within the world of Indrasi is rich and lush, and something readers have yet to taste. From creatures like the Yindril, a combination of what we know of as a plant and animal that boosts the powers of human mages; to the landscapes of endless sand, turbulent rivers, and decadent palaces; to the garb worn by members of the Kovan Dynasty consisting of shark teeth, live butterflies, and barely there tunics.

"Kill For Love" is a thrilling, darkly humorous journey into the mind of a female serial killer, set against the backdrop of a superficial college Greek life obsessed with yoga, parties, and how many calories one puts into their bodies.
