A New York Times Notable Book: "Combining cyberpunk's grit with dystopic fantasy, this iconoclastic hybrid is a standout piece of storytelling" (Library Journal). Jane is trapped as a changeling in an industrialized Faerie ruled by aristocratic high elves and populated by ogres, dwarves, night-gaunts, and hags. She is the only human in a factory where underage forced labor builds cybernetic, magical dragons that are weaponized and sent off to war. When the damaged dragon Melanchthon tempts Jane with promises of freedom, the stage is set for a daring escape that will shake the foundations of existence.   Combining alchemy and technology, a coming-of-age story like no other, The Iron Dragon's Daughter takes place against a dystopic mindscape of dark challenges and class struggles that force Jane to make costly decisions at every turn.   A finalist for the Arthur C. Clarke Award, the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, and the 1994 Locus Award, The Iron Dragon's Daughter a is one-of-a-kind melding of grimdark fantasy and cyberpunk grit from the Nebula Award-winning author of Stations of the Tide. It engages the reader in a nihilistic world in which nothing is as it seems and everything comes at a steep and often horrific price.… (plus d'informations)

This book is one of those rarities that make my brain a little bit numb from emotion storm. There is nothing coherent, just a storm of love, hatred, questions, guesses, objections, suggestions, alterations, admiration, amusement, dissatisfaction... I want more, but I know that there is no more and there must be no more - for all good things must end by their own will or be twisted into the MacDonald's-like things by others. Such books and the worlds they create is more like a glimpse in the dark. They flash before your eyes, they leave you with images, with seeds of desire, and they gone... they don't need our imagination, they are free from us. ( )

Jane era una muchacha que trabajaba esclavizada en una fábrica de dragones de hierro. Su vida constituía una pesadilla, pero tenía una esperanza: le parecía que había nacido con el solo propósito de robar un dragón algún día.
Los oía gritar supersónicos por el cielo, impulsados por cólera y gasolina. Sentía su tirón gravitacional, la estela sobrecalentada de su paso. Y se veía a lomos de uno yéndose lejos, lejos, lejos.
Primero, no obstante, tendría que dominar el grimorio. Tendría que aprender cómo se manejaban los dragones.

If you like your fantasy gritty and noir with a soupcon of technology, Michael Swanwick’s Iron Dragon’s Daughter might be the book for you. It is a coming-of-age story set initially in a factory that uses and abuses orphaned children to get into tight places and amuse lecherous overseers. A cybernetic dragon wants to escape the factory yard but needs a pilot. Our heroine, a changeling girl named Jane, makes an ideal candidate. Swanwick’s characters are complex and morally ambiguous. Nothing in their world is warm and cuddly for long. 4 stars. ( )

I read a bunch of the reviews here that said this book started out strong but collapsed at the end, so perhaps I was better prepared for the story to tae some non traditional directions.

That said I really enjoyed the setting characters and ideas in this book. I think the author, by using a magic laden reality, is able to much better express some of the ideas being explored and suspend some of the assumptions and pre-judgements that might have existed if the setting had been a magical girl in a mundane world (as opposed to visa-versa).

I just finished the book today and my head is still swimming with what actually happened and what I can take from the story that unfolded.

Normally I just jump straight into my next book, but this one has my head kind of spinning making it difficult to decide what to read next.

I'd recommend as a read for those who don't mind wandering off the garden path if they get to see some really cool wild flowers ;-) ( )
