I read this novel as a fantasy satire. "Pride and Prejudice and Cannibalism", if you will. This world is entirely dragon-centric, fashioned after a Georgian-era society, replete with court and aristocracy decorum. It is still a delightful and unique romp in an alternate universe with genteel (and still quite savage) dragon kind. While some characters are better developed than others, the book falls short of answering all questions by the end, leaving the reader wanting more.
