This book was fantastic - probably the best in the series so far and one of the best books I've read this year! The story takes place in what I think is an Egypt-inspired country. The dragon content in this book is less exploratory and instead more focused in figuring out what on earth is up with dragon evolution in this series - there better be an answer to all this waiting at the end of the series as Brennan has me fascinated by the information she has dropped in so far.The other prominent components of the book are archaeology and a romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. 99.9% of the time I don't like romances in books but this one had me on the edge of my seat rooting for the characters. Isabella was causing maximum chaos with minimum effort and it was amazing!
