Honeyed Words

This is the second book in the Sarah Beauhall series. I didn't realize that until I started reading it and then looked more closely on-line about it. The author does a decent job of bringing you up to speed, but I think there's a lot of world building I missed out on. This book has elves, dwarves, and shape shifting dragons, and is in a lot of ways, high fantasy despite being urban. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I read the first book, which hopefully provided more descriptions of the denizens of the world. This book was nominated for the Endeavor Award, a Pacific Northwest award given at the Oregon Science Fiction Convention, and won the Gaylactic Spectrum Award in 2012.
