Even those who take no interest in the field of dragon naturalism have heard of Lady Trent's expedition to the inhospitable deserts of Akhia. Here Lady Trent relates how she acquired her position with the Royal Scirling Army, how foreign saboteurs imperilled both her work and her well-being and how her determined pursuit of knowledge took her into the deepest reaches of the Labyrinth of Drakes, where the chance actions of a dragon sets the stage for her greatest achievement yet…©2016 Bryn Neuenschwander (P)2016 Macmillan Audio Classics Fantasy Fiction Dragons

4.25/5

The fourth installment and this time we follow Isabella to the desert where she becomes involved in a dragon breeding program.

- This book, whilst very enjoyable, felt a bit more choppy than previous books. We go from the dragon enclosures to full desert to mountains to Arabian/Egyptian inspired towns. It's all interesting but not always smooth.

- As someone who enjoys ancient Egypt and its mythology, I loved how this book leaned into this world's equivalent of the Draconians. I won't ruin things but I enjoyed the sections that discussed this ancient race.

- We get to see Isabella develop more romance in this book and it's so sweet and nerdy. The courting was exactly as you'd expect and I loved it.

Mysterious, adventurous and sets up well for the final book (which I have already reviewed previously). This series is one of my favourites and I would recommend it to anyone who like Victorian age fantasy with a focus on period appropriate science.
