A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan
3.0
A Natural History of Dragons is the first in a series of novels recounting the adventures of Lady Trent, or Isabella, as she is known in this first book. She is a fascinating character that is bogged down by the expectations of her time, and rebels against them all in the name of science.
If you are looking for a story about epic dragon battles, then this is not the book for you. Our protagonist is a scientist and approached her research that way. That being said, this book is a bit dry at times. I enjoyed it enough and would like to read more of Isabella’s life, so I will definitely continue the series.
