In an era in which we are flooded with information it's clear that we need a way to organize the abundance of data. Some self help books can be very mystical and not at all practical, but this one contains concrete tips. Only after applying the lessons from these books for a few months I could say with certainty if it's good or not, but I'd say the start is pretty good. Can't say it's groundbreaking, we all know that it's good to take notes and organize them. What this book does well is to provide a framework from where to start to better organize our (digital) life.

A Language of Dragons' gives us Hunger Games vibes in a post-WWI world where dragons speak human tongues. The dystopian setting hits familiar YA notes, but offers enough novelty to stay interesting.

The protagonist is divisive – teacher's pet smart and ambitious, but with enough depth to make her compelling, unlike the supporting cast which are two-dimensional.

The book's biggest flaw? Despite promising an epic civil war between dragon-human factions, we mostly get stuck in a house with teenagers learning about the conflict through radio broadcasts.
