Description
The Iron Dragon’s Daughter, by Michael Swanwick, paperback fantasy novel
“Part classic fantasy, part Charles Dickens, The Iron Dragon’s Daughter is one of the most unique novels in the genre. Jane is a changeling child, enslaved in a factory that makes the iron dragons – terrible engines of war – until she discovers the secret of the dragons’ sentience and is able to use one of the beasts to escape. Then, her adventures as a thief and an outsider take her into a reality rich in wild magic and sharp-edged technology, a world where Time and shopping malls have a strange relationship and gryphons have a low capacity for alcohol. A surprising and brilliant novel that undercuts the easy escapism of more conventional fantasy.”
