A Natural History of Dragons

Average rating3.7
This is obviously not the kind of story where someone locks eyes with a dragon and ends up telepathically linked or some such. No, this is about science and study, but not in a boring way. This is still an adventure. Smugglers and murder and intrigue. Oh my!
Now in her older years, Isabella has decided to write a series of memoirs. I usually quite like memoirs. The people writing them tend to be interesting or they wouldn't have a story. Isabella has a story, and it's a good one. I just wish she wasn't so damn arrogant.
At times in the first half of the book she'd take us out of the story and talk to us, the readers, as if we're beneath her.
“You may think you see plenty of stars, friend reader, but you are wrong.”
