A Natural History of Dragons

A really delightful read. If you're looking for epic battles and magic and dragons front and centre then this isn't the book you're looking for, however, if you are looking for something unique in the style of an adventure memoir - except with dragons - with a bit of mystery and a spunky female protagonist, this is it. Lady Trent herself is the gem of the story, in this volume recounting her first foray and adventures into the study of dragons, a decidedly non-female pursuit- where she pushes the boundaries of her station as a women in a society where they expected to be much more proper. Her passion and pluck set her off on a path she thought was only a dream, but turns into a fun, adventurous story. I really enjoyed her as a character and this enticing new fantasy world we only scratch the surface of in this book. I suspect future volumes will expand and build upon it and I look forward to following Lady Trent on her future adventures.
