About this listen

Wonders terrestrial and aquatic, ancient ruins, near drownings, and more kinds of dragons than you can shake a wing at....

Six years after her perilous exploits in Eriga, Lady Trent embarks on her most ambitious expedition yet: a two-year trip around the world aboard the Royal Survey Ship Basilisk, to study all manner of dragons. She must cope with storms, shipwrecks, intrigue and warfare to uncover new insights in the ancient history of dragons.

Ever single book in this series is flawlessly written, and it's so hard to stop listening. Anyone who is interested in natural history, feminism, and of course, dragons, will not be disappointed. I hope the 5th book in the series will be on available to buy as an audio book soon!

The pinnacle of speculative fiction

4.75/5

The third installation in the Memoirs of Lady Trent series and Isabella takes an around the world voyage in pursuit of dragons and finds much more on the way.

- I loved how this book differed from the first two in that it offered so many changes of scenery and did them all justice. It was like reading an old Victorian adventure novel with vibrant cities, wild oceans and exotic islands. Each location was well thought out and full of character.

- All the characters have grown over the course of the series but in this one I really appreciated getting to know Jake, Isabella's son, and appreciate both how like his parents he is and how different. He added a youthful glee to the book.

- The last third of the book was amazing and I love how it both crammed in so much culture and different perspective and was also action packed with lots of revelations.

Excellent and a credit to the series. Onto In the Labyrinth of Drakes!
