Kelly Regan Barnhill: When Women Were Dragons (2022, Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group)

Review of 'When Women Were Dragons' on 'Goodreads'

I was so excited for this, but unfortunately it left me bored. If I wasn't so stubborn I probably would have DNF'd. I'm struggling to put into words what didn't work for me, but I think I was expecting more from the dragons in a few ways. They just disappeared? For years? And came back with no acknowledgement of the pain they left behind? And the whole explanation of "well some people just sometimes feel called to dragon" was lacking as well, tell me why women are turning into dragons and more about how they're burning down everything that held them back please!
