![]() ![]() Through letters and excerpts, Gantz details dragons, the accessibility of information, and a history covered by people and the government. This poses a problem when Beatrice starts becoming obsessed with dragons. This is all because dragons are considered highly taboo, with much research and information being covered or forbidden. However, she can’t get answers to the questions she has. Alex has many questions, like why she didn’t her mother turn into a dragon and what’s to become of those left behind. Instead, her mother takes in her cousin Beatrice and claims that she’s her sister, not her cousin and that she’s never had a sister. Alex’s life is turned upside down when the mass dragoning of 1955 occurred, with her aunt Marla dragoning and her mother not (but almost) dragoning. Alex details her time leading up to the Mass Dragoning of April 25, 1955, and what happens after, with some letters and excerpts from a man named Henry Gantz thrown in. The novel follows Alex Green in a memoir style of storytelling. The world this takes place in is like ours, except for there being dragonings, which refers to when people (usually women) turn into dragons. My sibling Hanna wanted me to review this, and I needed a break from romance. When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill is a standalone novel. ![]()
