Summary

Miss Mildred Percy inherits a dragon.

Ah, but we’ve already got ahead of ourselves…

Miss Mildred Percy is a spinster. She does not dance, she has long stopped dreaming, and she certainly does not have adventures. That is, until her great uncle has the audacity to leave her an inheritance, one that includes a dragon’s egg.

The egg—as eggs are wont to do—decides to hatch, and Miss Mildred Percy is suddenly thrust out of the role of “spinster and general wallflower” and into the unprecedented position of “spinster and keeper of dragons.”

But England has not seen a dragon since…well, ever. And now Mildred must contend with raising a dragon (that should not exist), kindling a romance (with a humble vicar), and embarking on an adventure she never thought could be hers for the taking.

Took a while to get going, and for the first couple of hours it was kinda just background noise… Maybe at some point I’ll re-listen to it, because I honestly can’t tell you what happened! But then it got rolling and was more engaging and absorbing, and hey presto, I’ve already bought book 2!
Zara Ramm’s narration was excellent as usual, although there were a few very strange pronunciations which set my teeth on edge… On the whole though, very happy to have taken a chance on it!

This is a good book with a great book trapped inside it. The set up for set pieces can take way too long and and I wonder what happens next is visible from across the hill. Zara Ramm is brilliant as with most of what she does. I'll be checking out the next one perhaps speeded up a tad.

A good story well narrated, but can be slow

Fun and entertaining. Easy to listen to. I am looking forward to hearing what happens next to Mildred and all.

Adored this story, just wish more of the author‘s waffling interjections had been edited out - they do tend to get in the way of the momentum. Definitely buying the second book because I enjoy the plot and the characters. Narrator sounded like AI in the beginning - either the exaggerated diction or something to do with the sound processing, but eventually the plot takes over and you forget it.

Wonderful if waffling
