Love at first sentence!
This book is nothing like anything I’ve ever read before and yet it has everything that I absolutely love in a novel!
The story is written as a memoir of Lady Trent, a Dragon naturalist. She is one of the most well written characters I’ve read this year! It took me one single sentence to fall in love with this character.
Sassy old lady telling us her story? YES PLEASE!
This book literally has everything. It’s hilarious (had me cackling constantly), it sounds like it’s set in the Victorian era (which by the way is one of my favourite settings of all time!), it’s filled with adventure, it has a thrilling mystery, it has the most adorable romance, the narrator so witty and such a badass and most importantly (as you’ve figured from the title) has dragons!
I listened to this on audio (Kate Reading is the narrator so I just HAD to check it out) and it truly enhanced my reading experience. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect portrayal of Lady Trent’s character and voice. It was absolutely phenomenal! If you decide to pick it up (if you’re still undecided, drop me a message and I’ll convince you to pick it up) please please consider the audiobook. It’s perfect!!!

This was not what I expected. I thought it was going to be more fantasy than romance. This actually had me in tears sometimes. I really enjoyed it. I don’t think I will read any more of this series though as I’m not invested in the characters beyond this story.

A little slow going in places - but I loved it. Especially the last third of the book where all the intrigue sets in, even if it moves rip rap all of a sudden.

oh Jacob! I was suspicious he'd not make it to the end of the series, but not the end of the first book!!pirateabbie's review against another edition

Didn't really enjoy the superior aristocratic tone of the narrator. Don't think I'll continue with the others in the series. Artwork is fantastic though.
