Well this book certainly is what it is advertised to be: a Victorian novel where the characters happen to be cannibalistic dragons. Word of warning: if you are thinking of reading this book because you like to hear about dragons doing dragon things; do not read this book! You will be deeply disappointed with all the talk of legal cases and little ceremonial hats. However, if you are tired of rereading Jane Austin, give this book a shot.
Consider it a sort of parody of a Victorian novel, one that takes It’s comic premise very seriously. Honestly I’m annoyed that I liked Tooth and Claw as much as I did. Now I have to explain to people why a book about anthropomorphic dragons got a 5 star rating from me. But what can I say? It’s good.
