Description
From the award-winning author of the Dominion of the Fallen series comes a dark retelling of Beauty and the Beast.
In a ruined, devastated world, where the earth is poisoned and beings of nightmares roam the land....
A woman, betrayed, terrified, sold into indenture to pay her village's debts and struggling to survive in a spirit world.
A dragon, among the last of her kind, cold and aloof but desperately trying to make a difference.
When failed scholar Yên is sold to Vu Côn, one of the last dragons walking the earth, she expects to be tortured or killed for Vu Côn's amusement.
But Vu Côn, it turns out, has a use for Yên: she needs a scholar to tutor her two unruly children. She takes Yên back to her home, a vast, vertiginous palace-prison where every door can lead to death. Vu Côn seems stern and unbending, but as the days pass Yên comes to see her kinder and caring side. She finds herself dangerously attracted to the dragon who is her master and jailer. In the end, Yên will have to decide where her own happiness lies - and whether it will survive the revelation of Vu Côn's dark, unspeakable secrets....
Contains mature themes.

Excellent
I love fantasy books, and found out about Aliette de Bodard when she appeared on Brian McClellan's Podcast "Page Break', I have read/listened to several of her books now, and love her use of Vietnamese culture and mythology into the fantasy world. This is an excellent listen with magic, dragons and a love story. Highly recommend.

Forgettable
This seemed to be right up my alley in the synopsis, but I’ve listened to hours of it so far (five!) and it’s so forgettable I couldn’t even describe it to you. I’m used to reading 25-45 hour fantasy books, and you’d sure as hell hope you were engaged by the fifth hour for one of those beasts. I have only a fourth of this left, and nothing of this world has left an impression on me. The Vanisher civilization begins as an interesting deceit, but the characters in this world are so bland and one dimensional, that the setting fades into dreamy abstraction as well.
There was no character development. The f/f romance with a DRAGON should have been good, but it was just weird mutual instalust and feigning shock that sleeping together might be in the books—right off!
You JUST met!
She’s your prisoner!
Child dragons teasing about how much dragon and scholar want each other, too, is just, well. Yikes.
A lot of it seemed to miss the mark. Sorry, that’s a no for me. I’m marking it finished and throwing in the towel before I consume what’s left “because I’m already so far!” with glazed eyes and buzzing annoyance.
