*This review contains spoilers for The Memoirs of Lady Trent series*
“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. Her discoveries there are the stuff of romantic legend, catapulting her from scholarly obscurity to worldwide fame. The details of her personal life during that time are hardly less private, having provided fodder for gossips in several countries. As is so often the case in the career of this illustrious woman, the public story is far from complete. In this, the fourth volume of her memoirs, Lady Trent relates how she acquired her position with the Royal Scirling Army; how foreign saboteurs imperiled 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 action of a dragon set the stage for her greatest achievement yet.” (Goodreads)
This is probably my favorite installment in The Memoirs of Lady Trent so far. The story line of this one was really intriguing and it kept me wanting to know more. I also liked that romance was reintroduced into this one, as that had been missing for a few of the novels after the death of her husband in the first book (not that it needs romance, but it felt appropriate here). Overall, I really love this series. I love how witty the main character is, I love the writing style, and I love the illustrations.
