Really good book with a different perspective on dragons. The characters are wll fleshed out, and all of them are interesting, as well as the places they are seen in. The ending undid it for me a little, it felt a little forced. Otherwise its an entertaining read, sure to please you!

I struggled with the protagonist for the first quarter of the book but I came to love her and her obsession with dragons! Love the memoir format, it works really well here

apparently this is a formula that works - victorian-ish world with fantastical elements where a woman is interested in academics/scholarly pursuits, but also there might be a mystery plot to uncover and we are reading their journals or memoirs. this one though was a little sad or bittersweet by the end - would say not quite in the cozy category that is popular right now, but also has a humor that works for me

2.5, kind of a 'meh' read. I hoped for more excitement I suppose, though it did pick up at the end. Maybe the next in the series will be more enjoyable...
