A Language of Dragons by S.F. Williamson

When teenage Vivien Featherswallow arrives at Bletchley Park as a codebreaker, she is tasked with cracking the secret language of dragons.

What happens when a staunch government supporter falls in love with a rebel?

Set against an impending war between dragons and humans, A Language of Dragons charts Vivien’s political awakening as she learns the truth about the government she works for and the rebels she distrusts.

Chumana the dragon was my favourite character, and I liked that the heroine’s superpower was multilingualism.

A clean-teen novel about forgiveness, class, and questioning the system. I admired the author’s bold decision regarding the love interest.
