I loved this book. Kept my interest through whole story.

This book is for man haters. If you don't like hearing about sexual abuse with 200 young girls and abuse toward women this is not your book. I was terribly disappointed, the story was either about abuse and shocking or very flat and boring. Also it was very long and I really don't understand all the good reviews.

An awesome book about the importance and complexity of womanhood.

Not sure how this was rated so highly . I felt completely bored but this book and struggled to finish .

I loved this book. The relationships between Alex and the other characters was well thought out. Kelly Barnhill has a great imagination and I hope she is able to bring us more insightful characters in another novel.

I loved the concept of this book, but felt it was too long and drawn out. Too many details that didn’t need to be included made the primary idea of the book get lost. At the end I still felt like was so much more I wanted to know. I don’t consider myself a man hater or a feminist, but I did enjoy parts of the book about some women achieving power.

I wanted to love this book because the concept was fascinating, but it just didn’t hit the mark for me. It felt like a long, drawn-out story with far too many unnecessary details. I struggled to connect with any of the characters, and there was never a hook or anything that truly grabbed me. Ultimately, it was a slow narrative about a woman who never actually turns into a dragon. While I understood the abuse and anti-feminist elements were reflective of the time period, it was hard to grasp the concept of the "dragon escape" the book seemed to promise. The last chapter was, by far, the best part of the book, but unfortunately, it couldn’t make up for the slow and disjointed journey that led there.

The narrator was a little slow reading, but the story is amazing

Fun, creative and thought provoking!
