4.0

Such a lovely, gripping book.

The story itself is fun and intriguing, but the protagonist Lady Trent is so easy to root for that it makes this book a delightful experience. I loved the way her youthful nativity, enthusiasm and passion as a young woman contrast with the self-awareness and sense of humour of her older self as she narrates the story.

Great springtime read, can’t wait to pick up the sequels.

I enjoyed this read, but it wasn't a great book. I loved Jacob and Isabela, both as characters and as a couple. I liked that Isabela managed to be feminist without feeling like she didn't belong in her world. I understand the choice of style but i personally think it made the book worse. I felt that the author explained too much. And Isabela as the narrator explained herself too much.

I love dragons, and had a great time reading this. I'm thinking of getting the next book in the series to read too.
