The fourth installment and this time we follow Isabella to the desert where she becomes involved in a dragon breeding program.
- This book, whilst very enjoyable, felt a bit more choppy than previous books. We go from the dragon enclosures to full desert to mountains to Arabian/Egyptian inspired towns. It's all interesting but not always smooth.
- As someone who enjoys ancient Egypt and its mythology, I loved how this book leaned into this world's equivalent of the Draconians. I won't ruin things but I enjoyed the sections that discussed this ancient race.
- We get to see Isabella develop more romance in this book and it's so sweet and nerdy. The courting was exactly as you'd expect and I loved it.
Mysterious, adventurous and sets up well for the final book (which I have already reviewed previously). This series is one of my favourites and I would recommend it to anyone who like Victorian age fantasy with a focus on period appropriate science.
