    Remarkable, Memorable Book
  

*by E***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2016*

This is literally a Jane Austen novel  --  with a cast of characters who are all dragons.  This is not done for whimsy  --  it's not a whimsical book.I had the feeling that Walton may have been pondering the rigid code of the English upper classes that Austen's world wears like a corset, and have had the sudden flash of inspiration that it would make more sense if the species living by it were not human.Imagine a society where a young woman's "purity" was the prime requirement for respectability, and therefore young women are sheltered and cloistered and hedged about with restrictions  --  and now imagine that a maiden's loss of purity is a matter of emotions, not physicality, a biochemical process that shows up in a dramatic change to the color of her skin.Imagine a society where male aggression is carefully channeled into legal forms, but treated as inevitable  --  and now imagine that males are actually carnivorous predators built for lethal combat.  Imagine a society where the greatest desire of a man's life is to leave his children and estate well-provided for  --  and now imagine a society where sleep and healing are dramatically improved by sleeping upon gold, where the only way for a member of society to grow into their full size and strength is by consuming the flesh of other members of society, and where droit de seigneur is not ravishing maidens, but culling and eating the weak of one's demesne.  Inheritance and greed suddenly take on a whole new meaning!Walton has produced such an impeccable dragon justification, such a perfect dragon fit, for the norms of Regency society, it's almost as if the human version of them had been blindly copied from dragons.  If you enjoy Austen and the more substantial Regency novels, if you enjoy dragons, or steampunk, or just good SF world-building...  you'll enjoy this unforgettable novel.

    Great book!
  

*by J***T on Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2018*

Jo Walton has written what is essentially an Anthony Trollope novel populated with dragons! This is really great. Highly recommended. My daughter told me I would love this book, and she was right, although she described it as Jane Austen with dragons, her familiarity with nineteenth century English novels is limited. Definitely Anthony Trollope and not Jane Austen. There is more social criticism in this novel of manners than Jane Austen would have written, this is Victorian, post Dickens, with social justice themes but with less melodrama than Dickens and without the wild emotions of any of the Brontes or Hardy. l loved Jo Walton's My Real Children. This is less devastating, and more fun. I need to read more of her work.

    A Fantastic Slice of Life
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2019*

I was absolutely delighted with this book. Right away you start with a familiar touchstone, a deathbed, and a family assembled to grieve. Then that frame gets twisted as you discover these are dragons. The story continually uses this push and pull of fantasy and the well known. There are proposals, haughty nobles, concerns of respectability, social mores, schemes and lawyers but they all have a draconic twist. To me this all has the ring of Downton Abbey but a more educated person would pull from Victorian English literature, I'm sure.I enjoyed every moment of my journey through this land. If you like Downton Abbey, dragons or Jane Austen then you may like this as well.
