A review by anntharai
A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan

adventurous mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

5.0

I felt this would become one of my comfort books about 10% of the way in. It’s escapism, adventure, and simply wonderful. 

Shades of Amelia Peabody, but with more dragons and less detective work.
