The common issue that people had with the books is that they focus more on the study of dragons, and aren’t as action-packed as many fantasy novels tend to be. After reading a few chapters I knew I was going to read this entire series, and will likely re-read it many times over in the future. This memoir documents the early days of her interest with dragons, her first expedition to study the rock-wyrms of Vystrana, and the dangers and discoveries she found while she was there.Īfter reading a few Goodreads reviews I was worried that I would be disappointed with this book, but the cover and the premise really called to me so I decided to try it anyway. Synopsis: Well-bred women should not be fascinated with dragons, or wish to travel the world in hopes of studying them, but Isabella Trent has never been not an average girl. I guess I’ll just have to hope for more adventures from Lady Trent to satisfy my new-found obsession.
After reading A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan (and the books that follow) I think I might be a fan of the travel memoir, although it’s unlikely that I will find many others that merge my appreciation for mythological creatures and alternate-history/steampunk so neatly.
