Baby dragon debutantes. Territory challenges. Dragon battles. When will the chaos end?

Dragon Sage Elizabeth Darcy longs for life to return to normal, at least as normal as it could be for a Blue Order officer who lives with more household dragons than most small villages. Having two sisters and an infant dragon to present as debutantes to the Order makes "normal" difficult. The fine ladies - she-dragons one and all - of the Cotillion Board make it impossible.

Sir Fitzwilliam Darcy, knight of the Pendragon Order, never envisioned his oath to "protect and serve the interests of the Blue Order and dragonkind" would demand immediate action. But only a Keeper can defend Pemberley’s territory against threats far too big for a baby dragon to manage. Threats against the Pendragon Accords themselves. And only the one closest to the Dragon Sage can protect her from the sinister forces menacing the Order, possibly from within its own ranks.

Can Darcy and Elizabeth ensure the Cotillion strengthens the Order rather than laying the groundwork for its demise?

Meryton meets Pern in a fantastical regency romp bound to delight listeners of Jane Austen and Anne McCaffrey alike. Book eight of Jane Austen's Dragons.

I love how Maria Grace adds dragons so seamlessly to a human society that does not seem to even suspect anything.
So very unlike all the 'normal' fantasy stories that always seem to have dragons as evil and terrifying beasts who mostly come in one or two shapes or sizes sometimes with different colours, and everyone know about them, and most of the time there is also magic and often evil magic associated with them.

I love it!!! I can't wait to hear the other stories.

This series of books has been wonderful. I love how more and more of the Austen characters are starting to show up. The story line is different than most Austenesque stories but still keeps within the style. Benjamin Fife does a superb job of character voices. You can tell the difference between characters and size easily. I can't wait until the next instalment is out.

Although I have all the books as ebooks, I find that I go first to the audiobook because of the exquisite narration. Each character is recognizable, and emotional nuances make each story come alive. Kudos to both Maria Grace and Benjamin Fife for another fantastic book.

Exciting chapter in Darcy’s Dragons

I love this series. I was lucky enough to have several available to go through like a binge watch. Now, I’m impatient for a new installment.

I was not prepared to like the series when I read the first one. Stories with dragons are not my usual interest. I tried other JAFF with a supernatural twist, although I’m still avoiding the vampires. They all seemed to be lacking something of ODC. Not true of this series. We even get a wonderful addition of Anne Elliot and Frederick Wentworth from Persuasion.

I’m hoping that we will next see the addition of characters from Emma or Sense and Sensibility.

Mr. Fife is now my favorite JAFF male narrator.

Impatient for the next book

As my dramatic headline suggests, the Blue Order is really showing some cracks in this book as we learn more about the smugglers introduced in the last book and the question of how high up their reach goes in the Blue Order is raised. Plus, Elizabeth continues to be wonderfully imperfect in her role, having to face her belief in the reasonability of dragons challenged as other dragons seek to fight territory disputes over grievances the Blue Order has left too unaddressed.

It's also interesting to see a Lydia who gets a more deserved spotlight after a transformation of character and to explore the question of "Does Georgianna have similar pride issues to what her brother had?"

It's a struggle to find new ways to praise Fife after being so deep into this series. I love his higher voices for the smaller dragons and the deeper tones he gives the lower dragons. His does the people justice too, no small feat with a cast of characters like this.

There is still so much left hanging at the end that I'm excited to start book 10 (as book 9 is all side stories).

The Order is crumbling away

If you like Jane Austen or dragons or just a good fantasy story then this series is one that should definitely be read and enjoyed! It’s such a good series and I’ve loved getting to read them all and it’s even better to listen to them. I have loved all the different adaptations of good classics. It was also great to get more or Lizzy and Darcy’s story and also get more of our favorite young dragon. I really want more of this world and these characters. My favorites are always the dragons. They each have such unique personalities and it’s so much fun to see the traits of certain dragons. Definitely a series that’s best enjoyed in the correct reading order.

So much fun!

I so want to give more than 5 stars. These stories are so awesome. The narrator does an excellent job. He is one of the best narrators ever. Now there is a question about Pemberly's territory. Larger dragons feel that a baby dragon has no business having a large territory. Some of them want to challenge her for it. Darcy & Elizabeth are terrified that she will have to fight to prove her dominance. However all dragons small and large are doing whatever they can to help. Elizabeth also has to deal with the presentations at the Cotillion and all the stuck up women on the committee as well. Simply a perfect series for any fantasy lover. I love this whole series so much & if you haven't started it then you should.

One Of The Best Series Ever

I absolutely love this series and would suggest you not miss it.
The story bring to life how England would be with dragons living with humans and all the complications of trying to keep the non dragon speaking ignorant of how dangerous it is for them.
The narrator is the best! He brings to life all the dragons and humans. I am amazed at how he does this and have enjoyed his narration.

Love this series
