These tiny creatures would be the instruments of her fate in many ways, first sparking her interest in dragons, and later inspiring her continued research that leads her and her husband across the world to find real live dragons. Instead, we get a look into the life of a young woman with an insatiably curious scientific mind that takes particular interest in the insect-like sparklings in her backyard. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but if you’re looking for dragons, they be not really here. But alas, this is actually a memoir *of* Lady Trent, by the lady herself. I was expecting something that could almost be an accompaniment to His Majesty’s Dragon, and, if I wanted to get my headcanon on, I could manage a good mash up, with this book being like a prequel where Lady Trent and her ilk are learning about the enigmatic creatures. That is to say, there isn’t a lot about dragons, much less their history. This book was not exactly what I expected.
