Elizabeth Ann Scarborough’s The Dragon, the Witch, and the Railroad
The fifth book in this series is set about a hundred years after the last one and has way more interesting characters—a girl cursed to tell the truth, a werefox lawyer, a cross-dressing pirate, an elderly archivist, and several very awesome dragons. I am not quite sure the plot lived up to all that, and there were the usual proof-reading errors, but it was a fun read. Unfortunately, even though Scarborough wrote this in 2015, she is still dropping the g-word like crazy (though she is way better about the cultural stereotypes). I really feel like by 2015, even old white ladies should have known that word was not cool (or at least had editors to tell them so). B.
