A LANGUAGE OF DRAGONS

Henrietta Meire shows remarkable vocal range in this audiobook featuring multiple human and dragon languages and accents. Vivian aims for an internship studying dragon languages, but when her parents are arrested as rebels, she sets free a dragon that starts a civil war. Desperate, she accepts a job as a code breaker to help the war effort and is tasked with deciphering the one dragon language that has eluded scholars. Meire narrates primarily with an English accent but easily adopts several other European accents to voice Vivian and the dragons as they converse. Dragon voices are lower, carefully paced, and intimidating. Meire voices human politicians with unwavering rigidity, enhancing their draconian demands. Meire's easy banter amplifies the slow-burn romance. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2025]
