'A satisfactory sendoff to one of the most thrilling and immersive fantasy series on today's shelves. League of Dragons is an ending to the series, it is a definitive one, and it is a satisfying one. And the book also has an abundance of the things that I love about the series: deep and inventive worldbuilding fabulous action scenes so many complex characters and relationships that have been built up over the series humor (I literally laughed out loud multiple times) and the general project of taking the nineteenth century and making it better. League of Dragons masterfully wraps up so many plot threads and loose ends that had built up throughout the previous eight books Novik never forgets that, as complex as her ideas and plot may get, the very simple notions of friendship and loyalty lie at the heart of the series.' -NPR

It's a story about friendship that transcends not only time and class, but species.

'Novik's fans won't be disappointed.' - Library Journal Concludes the series with a bang.' - Publishers Weekly (starred, boxed review) 'This thrilling installment is packed with action and excitement, drawing the series to a delightful and satisfying close with plenty of twists, misadventures, and aerial combat along the way.
