This book is perfect for fans of Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries. Kate Reading (who narrates This Woven Kingdom among others) does an excellent job with the narration.

A fun, and funny, book about a woman who wants to study dragons but cannot because of her gender--but of course she winds up doing so anyway.

This was a wonderful book. I had a great time reading it and I basically read it all in one-sitting. I loved the memorial style and the foreshadowing.

If the later books are even better (as I've heard), this promises to be a great series! The blend of science and fantasy and mystery was lovely and I just really enjoyed the whole premise. Nothing stuck out at me as being a plot hole or otherwise making no sense and I especially appreciated the author popping in at opportune moments to say things like "this was bad science, it just happened to work this time." It gave me more respect for the character and made everything more plausible. 

That said, I'm also a big classic fiction reader and I could see how this would be a tough read for someone who isn't as comfortable with that style--It is fantasy, but written in a Victorian England memoir style with appropriately dry English humor and side comments that slow the narrative. If you can make it through Pride and Prejudice / Jane Eyre and similar stories and want dragons, this book is for you.

Planning to continue with future books!
