If there was one word to describe this novel, and all it's characters really, it would be 'charming'.
I didn't really know what I was getting from this book until I read the opening chapter. I was expecting our heroine to be riding into the sunset on a dragon, bound for grand adventures, but it's less about dragon hi-jinx, and more about a little girl wanting to study dragons in a male dominated time period.

When I picked this up I understood this was about a female natural historian who studied dragons. And while that is the main crux of this book, there is a lot more to this book. I loved the science about the dragons, Lady Trent following her passions and expanding of what a woman could do was what really sold me. Add in the mystery element running through a large part of the story and I was sold. Also beautiful illustrations just added an amazing element.
Review to come.
I read or listened to this audio book . It was a great format. I would highly recommend. It's a great story. Marie Brennan has created a wonderful that feels very much like our own but in the past and a land where Dragons are one of the wild creatures .
