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.

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.
