The urge to quit everything I'm doing; grab my dog and move to Amsterdam to open a bookstore that is also a bakery and coffee shop, with pretty flowers on the outside. Just keeps getting bigger the more I get older.

“A dragon without its rider is a tragedy. A rider without their dragon is dead.” • This will probably be one of my top reads of the year, and I’m upset with myself for not picking it up sooner! I loved it so much, I finished my library ebook then went out to buy a copy because I had to own it. This book tapped into a reading frenzy that I haven’t experienced in some years.

Violet Sorrengail was meant to join the scribe quadrant of Basgiath War College, but her general mother forces her to become a rider despite her weakness. I found her to be such a determined, fierce, and funny MC. I love when a character’s observations can make me laugh, and her dynamic with Tairn and Andarna had me cracking up. The dragons by far were my favorite part of this book—their ruthlessness, their humor, and specific powers were captivating. However, mysterious shadow master Xaden Riorson was a close second.

Everything about him was intriguing from their very first interaction. The enemies to lovers trope is alive and well, friends. It’s so intriguing how all actions and motivations can be viewed through a different lens after that ending.

In the sequel, I hope we learn a bit more about the political landscape and the true stakes. I’m looking forward to a touch more character depth now that secrets have been revealed. And hoping for more POVs! 🤞🏼🐉 • E’s rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

What was your first Naomi Novik read?

Mine was Spinning Silver but I've heard a lot of fantastic reviews of Uprooted so I must get round to reading it.

The Struggle

When you know your book is ending but you’re not ready to let go, so you keep rereading some lines, hoping more pages get magically added..

The struggle is real.

The Neverending Reading List: Book LXIX

"Unmasking Autism: Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity" by Dr. Devon Price, Ph.D.

For every visibly Autistic person you meet, there are countless “masked” Autistic people who pass as neurotypical. Masking is a common coping mechanism in which Autistic people hide their identifiably Autistic traits in order to fit in with societal norms, adopting a superficial personality at the expense of their mental health. This can include suppressing harmless stims, papering over communication challenges by presenting as unassuming and mild-mannered, and forcing themselves into situations that cause severe anxiety, all so they aren’t seen as needy or “odd.” In Unmasking Autism, Dr. Devon Price shares his personal experience with masking and blends history, social science research, prescriptions, and personal profiles to tell a story of neurodivergence that has thus far been dominated by those on the outside looking in. For Dr. Price and many others, Autism is a deep source of uniqueness and beauty. Unfortunately, living in a neurotypical world means it can also be a source of incredible alienation and pain. Most masked Autistic individuals struggle for decades before discovering who they truly are. They are also more likely to be marginalized in terms of race, gender, sexual orientation, class, and other factors, which contributes to their suffering and invisibility. Dr. Price lays the groundwork for unmasking and offers exercises that encourage self-expression, including:

Celebrating special interests

Cultivating Autistic relationships

Reframing Autistic stereotypes

And rediscovering your values

It’s time to honor the needs, diversity, and unique strengths of Autistic people so that they no longer have to mask—and it’s time for greater public assistance and accommodation of difference. In embracing neurodiversity, we can all reap the rewards of nonconformity and learn to live authentically, Autistic and neurotypical people alike.

DEVON PRICE, PhD, is a social psychologist, professor, author, and proud Autistic person. His research has appeared in journals such as the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, and the Journal of Positive Psychology. Devon’s writing has appeared in outlets such as the Financial Times, HuffPost, Slate, Jacobin, Business Insider, LitHub, and on PBS and NPR. He lives in Chicago, where he serves as an assistant professor at Loyola University Chicago’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies.
