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