About this listen

Wonders terrestrial and aquatic, ancient ruins, near drownings, and more kinds of dragons than you can shake a wing at....

Six years after her perilous exploits in Eriga, Lady Trent embarks on her most ambitious expedition yet: a two-year trip around the world aboard the Royal Survey Ship Basilisk, to study all manner of dragons. She must cope with storms, shipwrecks, intrigue and warfare to uncover new insights in the ancient history of dragons.

Enjoyable entry in the Ladt Trent series, but much slower than the first two.

Good, but not as good as the first two

I love this authors style of gently guiding the reader through the story providing just the right amount of hints of mystery to keep you longing for more. I love the characters of this series and am particularly fond of the new addition to Isabellas group of like minded adventures.
I also find the narrators voice perfectly compliments the character and gives her energy and life.

can't wait for the next one

This time, it was inspired by south east Asian cultures. The writing and narration make for a perfect match.

Another expertly narrated feel-good adventure story

Ever single book in this series is flawlessly written, and it's so hard to stop listening. Anyone who is interested in natural history, feminism, and of course, dragons, will not be disappointed. I hope the 5th book in the series will be on available to buy as an audio book soon!
