A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan
3.0

I liked this book okay, though like many other reviews I wish there were more dragons and more dragon science. I think if this book was marketed more as a mystery novel I wouldn’t have been as disappointed. I also didn’t much like the pacing. I realize that a shorter first book in a series is more accessible but there were some paragraphs that would skip a bunch of time and it felt rushed.

All that being said, what dragon stuff there was in the book I enjoyed and I did like the characters. The prose was well-written and the mystery of the dragon attacks was intriguing. I’m not sure I’ll read the other books, but…maybe.
