Book 48: Of Dragons, Feasts and Murders by Aliette de Bodard

This is a lovely little novella within an existing world from a series that I haven't read. So it was an exciting adventure finding out what the world was and how the characters interacted within it! I enjoyed the story, but I'm not sure how well it stood alone--I wasn't sure what the dynamic between the main couple was, or how I was supposed to feel about how they interacted. I liked them, but I felt like I was missing something from the narrative. Which clearly I was! But I had been hoping it would be more of a one-shot I could just jump right into. All that said, I still enjoyed the story of court intrigue, and by the end of it I felt like I knew who these people are. I would have liked a bit more focus on the relationship and less on the court intrigue, but overall it was fun!

Grade: B
