    Great continuation of the series!
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2015*

I received a free arc-e-book of The Voyage of the Basilisk from Tor on NetGalley.The Voyage of the Basilisk is the third book in the Memoir by Lady Trent series, the first of which is The Natural History of Dragons. I was happy to find out that it was not the last and that there are two more in the series after this.The VofB starts off slowly, the pacing was a tad too slow for my liking and mired in parts by the naming of all the fictional geography--which instead of clearing things up for me, actually confused and irritated me. It was somewhat unnecessarily especially since I couldn't make the connections to the countries/languages she was referring to and their real world counterparts. I'm guessing this one takes place somewhere in the Pacific Islands and the aggressor is Japan.The book would have been a letdown for me except thankfully the pacing picks up in the second half of the book and some exciting action finally starts to happen. Isabella really is an amazing character. She's a scientist with a curiosity of a cat that more often gets her into dangerous situations, and in trouble with foreign governments. In this one, she's actually forced to marry another woman in order to avoid offending her host who believe she's dragon-spirited and is neither man and woman. Since she is female who dresses and acts more like a man, she is then perceived as a man, and therefore must marry a woman to anchor her to this world. This to me, really hilarious. I actually wish she went a little more into this, but alas, there was none.There was some really cool dragon riding, escaping hostile army men via balloons, and diving into a heat of battle.I'm also dying to find out who Isabella married. I hope it's Suhail!

    As interesting as it is fun!
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2015*

If you're looking for a fast-paced, fun, interesting adventure story, these books are the way to go. I can't say how refreshing these novels are. They're a perfect combination of period-piece, dragon fantasy, and feminism. Brennan's background as an anthropologist/folklorist definitely shines through as she takes her characters around a globe not altogether unlike ours, in a time/political period similar to the British imperialist era. The main character has an admirable sense of curiosity and drive, and works hard to achieve her dreams against many odds. In her travels it becomes clear that every culture has some sort of special cultural relationship with dragons (actually similar to our own world!), and so in order to study dragons she must learn to navigate the local culture and customs wherever she is. And, being a woman, she learns, with some frustration, that the half of the local culture that she is able to access is the feminine side, making for an interesting narrative and perspective. As a result, these dragon books have just as much to do with exploring cultures, kinship structures, gender roles, and religions as they do with illustrating dragons in this world. Additionally, unlike so many authors of female protagonist fantasy novels, Brennan doesn't waste time talking about the main character's every love interest. There's definitely love in the book - in its many variations - but the more interesting parts of the story (like dragons, adventure, & politics!) aren't thrown aside to make room for the same old romance story we've all read a thousand times. It's so refreshing! The result is a fun, interesting, unique read that I'd recommend to anyone!

    The Lady is a Scientist
  

*by A***L on Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2015*

This book is part of a trilogy which I will review in entirety since its hard to read just one.  The series is written as a fictional autobiography of a naturalist who ventures to remote corners of the planet to study dragons.  Set in a period that resembles the Victorian era, Lady Trent travels by sailing ship or on horse back and communicates by letter.  The conceit brilliantly incorporates fantasy, history, scientific method and cultural anthropology.  In each book the author embarks on an adventure searching out the elusive creatures in the spirit of Darwin on the Beagle. Lady Trent is not the typical fiction hero. For example, she must adhere to the social mores of her time where a woman wearing pants, much less a woman in the jungle wearing pants, is considered scandalous.  A mix of Jane Goodall, Margaret Mead and Shirley Temple, the author's quests for knowledge lands her in tangles that test an incredible range of skills.  An admirable well-rounded role model, she negotiates diplomatic snafus, overcomes gender discrimination, and confronts wild beasts in the jungle with tact, realism, intellect and a unique spirit of adventure.  Whether shipwrecked on a remote island or caught in a war between nations, Lady Trent approaches every obstacle from the scientific perspective of gathering data and testing theories.  If there is one criticism, it is that her detailed observations often weighs down the narrative but imagination ultimately triumphs over lengthy descriptions.  The inventive story-line and well crafted characters make for a entertaining and informative read.
