The story itself is fun and intriguing, but the protagonist Lady Trent is so easy to root for that it makes this book a delightful experience. I loved the way her youthful nativity, enthusiasm and passion as a young woman contrast with the self-awareness and sense of humour of her older self as she narrates the story.
Great springtime read, can’t wait to pick up the sequels.

I enjoyed this story, though. It was a nice, fantastical read about a girl who dreams outside of gender roles and figures out how to work the system of sexism to be seen in all her intelligent and scrappy glory. It also had a bit of a mystery element in it! And dragons!
As far as rebound books go, this was a great one. 5 dragons, for sure: 🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉 But in the overall scale of bookish awesomeness, I'd give it probably 3.5 stars. 🤷🏻♀️
⚠ CW: mentions of miscarriage and grief, themes of misogyny/sexism, some classism, and animal cruelty in the name of science.
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Animal death, and Sexism
Minor: Miscarriage and Grief
