The fourth Installment in the Lady Trent series. We find Isabella now in a desert nation, teaming up with her old college Tom to research dragon breeding. I love the way Isabella talks about the hatchlings, and her interactions with the sheikh's sister. I love the reappearance of Suhail, and the interactions between him and Isabelle. We don't see much of her son Jake, which was a bit disappointing, but he is away at school which was a thing rich people did in that era. I still love the science the characters undertake, and reading about Isabella stumbling around learning new to her cultures. I like the surprises. My only wish was that this book discussed a bit more about the draconian ruins in the area it's set in.

In this fourth book of Lady Trent's memoirs we get to follow her on her journey to the deserts of Akhia, where she and her friend Tom have been hired to try and breed dragons. A dream project for natural scientist Isabella, but, as usual, she's counteracted for merely being a woman. In addition, someone seems to want to sabotage their project, and she's reunited with a dear friend...

"In the Labyrinth of Drakes"... The title alone almost has me jumping for joy! And I'm not let down in the slightest; this book is at least as good as the previous ones! It has been three years since we last met Isabella, and we finally get the story about how she became known as Lady Trent. Between her research she keeps getting in all sorts of unpleasant business: kidnapping, poisoning and arson. She also does something she said she'd never do - she remarries!

4.5

this was probably my favorite installment of the entire series. there was a lot more emotional development and exploration that really drew me in, so the writing was much more my taste. it also finally answered a question that was pretty much spurring me to continue reading the series at all

i.e. suhail being lady trent's enigmatic husband!! the romantic development between these two was just so wonderful and enjoyable for me

. the continued scientific and historical studies and discoveries were interesting as well -- i think there was a good narrative balance in this book overall, as i found the earlier installments quite dry. this was definitely scintillating memoir material.
