5.0
This book completes the Lady Trent series and is both the culmination of the mysteries throughout the other 4 books, but is also such a fantastic completion of our characters adventure.
I will NOT shut up about how good this series is. If following the memoirs of an inspiring dragon naturalist (someone who studies dragons as an animal) and her struggles with being taken seriously as both a woman and a scientist thrown together in a Victorian-inspired world EVEN REMOTELY sounds interesting, then you'll love it!
I cannot comment on any story-specific elements I liked, as I want this review to remain as spoiler-free as possible, but Marie Brennan continues to capture the pure joy our main character takes in her work. Isabella is such a smart, capable, and curious character to follow. Her fascination with all things dragons are infectious both within the story and outside and her adventures throughout the previous books continue to build upon one another until coming to a climax in this final instalment. I couldn't have asked for a better holiday read, or a better final book.
10/10 would recommend!
