A review by tishreads
Dactyl Hill Squad by Daniel José Older

3.0

This story is full of excitement and features a strong minority cast of characters. It imagines a world in which dinosaurs and humans live side by side and takes place during the Civil War. It got to be a bit confusing at times with the alternative timeline. Additionally, the characters spoke and acted much like modern day humans, which is unlikely due to a) the existence of dinosaurs and b) the fact that the story is taking place 150+ years ago. There is definitely a niche audience for this book, though, and it's well written and enjoyable.
