About this listen

Miss Mildred Percy inherits a dragon.

Ah, but we’ve already got ahead of ourselves…

Miss Mildred Percy is a spinster. She does not dance, she has long stopped dreaming, and she certainly does not have adventures. That is, until her great uncle has the audacity to leave her an inheritance, one that includes a dragon’s egg.

The egg—as eggs are wont to do—decides to hatch, and Miss Mildred Percy is suddenly thrust out of the role of “spinster and general wallflower” and into the unprecedented position of “spinster and keeper of dragons.”

But England has not seen a dragon since…well, ever. And now Mildred must contend with raising a dragon (that should not exist), kindling a romance (with a humble vicar), and embarking on an adventure she never thought could be hers for the taking.

Pride and prejudice and dragon

Funny and sweet. Not a story about dragons, really. More a regency romance with a dragon in it.

Fun but slow wordy romp

Why use one sentence when you can use 6? I think the style is a legitimate callback to Austen and similar era writing, though not having read it myself I could be wrong. If you enjoy that style and know what you’re getting into then it’s a lovely story…if you’re hoping for a bit more action and more dragon, well, it’s a bit of a let down (though Fitz is great and the characters, including the dragon, are well fleshed out). Just could use a bit more showing and less telling in the writing itself, IMO.

Entertaining

This is a sweet story of a surprising inheritance by a staid and proper Englishwoman. Adventure and a little romance develop along the way.

Totally charming tale narrated by the magnificent Zara Ramm

After listening to the entire St Mary’s series for the sixth time, I was looking around for something new. I stated my search by narrator and came a toss this book. It is very charming, strong female lead, fun premise. I listened over two days. Already downloaded volume two.

Delightful! Jane Austen with dragons.

Anything read by Zara Ramm is reliably enjoyable, the story is well written and engaging. I’m about to buy book two.

Charming

.Mildred Percy had begun to believe that life had passed her by. Living more of less as governess to her sister's children and being generally ordered about. Then her great uncle left her a small and unlikely inheritance. Her life opened up, totally up ending the world! . What is the mysterious rock? Hold on Mildred your adventures are calling,.

Delightful!

So much fun to read. I fell in love with Fitz, Mildred, and the Rev, as much as I enjoyed loathing the Dickensian villains.
