Miss Percy's Pocket Guide to the Care and Feeding of British Dragons by Quenby Olson

4.0

I enjoyed this book. For the most part, it was as I expected it to be. Regency period fantasy, with an unexpected (to the characters) dragon, and just a little bit of romance. The romance is definitely not the central aspect of the story. It’s more about Miss Percy herself, her personal journey and the choices she makes. 

There were a few things that frustrated me despite my overall enjoyment. The first was the pace. This is a slow book. There is some ‘action’ but even those scenes are very introspective with a lot of focus on what a character thinks and feels about what is happening. The second frustration was the amount of asides, where the author directly addresses the reader. They often felt unnecessary.
