Audiobook narrated by Kate Reading.

The third installation in the Memoirs of Lady Trent series and Isabella takes an around the world voyage in pursuit of dragons and finds much more on the way.

- I loved how this book differed from the first two in that it offered so many changes of scenery and did them all justice. It was like reading an old Victorian adventure novel with vibrant cities, wild oceans and exotic islands. Each location was well thought out and full of character.

- All the characters have grown over the course of the series but in this one I really appreciated getting to know Jake, Isabella's son, and appreciate both how like his parents he is and how different. He added a youthful glee to the book.

- The last third of the book was amazing and I love how it both crammed in so much culture and different perspective and was also action packed with lots of revelations.

Excellent and a credit to the series. Onto In the Labyrinth of Drakes!

Though not as well-contained of a story as the second book, it’s clearly setting up some interesting questions for the series to continue with. I’m excited to read more.
