Changes

It's hard to speak about the themes without giving too much away but ''Burn'' talks about American racism, homophobia, international relations and arms races, religion, the possibility of multiverses, creation myths... and yes, see? I told you. It's a busy book! A fabulous busy book.

If dragons are your thing, you could also look at the classy [[Eon: Rise of the Dragoneye by Alison Goodman]], set in an ancient Oriental world, drawing on Chines myths and tradition. Complex, vivid, and also with themes of difference and otherness.
