This was my first Naomi Novik book and I will be checking out her other works too after this because I really loved this story.

I loved the story of the Dragon, the Wood and of course Agnieszka. The magic was wonderful. Agnieszka was glorious in the discovery of herself and the Dragon (magician) as a real person not just some figure she has learned to love for the protection he brings to her village but also fear because he is so reclusive.

Spoiler The queen and Kasia's trial after they had been “corrupted” by The Wood. I get the Wood is evil and it leads to an exciting climax but just like Agnieszka in the story I was just waiting for something to happen and it was a tad too long of a wait.
