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

Did not finish book. Stopped at 43%.
I don’t appreciate the Victorian Era misogyny in the book. I understand that is a real part of the Victorian Era, but I don’t feel like Isabella is the strong female character I was hoping for in this book. Mostly, I got to one scene…
where she was kidnapped
and decided I didn’t like that she kept apologizing to her husband and felt so much unjustified guilt for something out of her control. It gave me victim blaming vibes. I really hope her character grows a backbone by the end, but I couldn’t get through it.
