Michael's Reviews > A Natural History of Dragons

Excellent. Plenty of adventure, and adventure always carries some risks. Writing was superb and the whole victorian thing worked excellently. I was looking for a fun light adventure after working on multiple 1,000 page books and stumbled upon this. I was captivated by the first paragraph of this first book, where she is describing small insect dragons, the garden at her house and the forest behind it. Very well descriptive and not cliche or obvious. My only complaint was that the travels were not expounded on but rushed over. The sailing and the walking and the riding ARE part of the adventure, though add a lot of pages without much activity, and so maybe it was better this way. Strongly recommend.
