[A] journey full of imagination and intellectual passion that
transports readers into a fully realized world, right alongside its
forthright heroine. --RT Book Reviews, four and a half stars, on
Within the Sanctuary of Wings A thoroughly absorbing conclusion to
this refreshingly different and consistently intriguing pentalogy.
-- Kirkus, starred review, on Within the Sanctuary of Wings
Delivers genteel thrills, and Isabella is an intrepid and
delightful heroine. --Library Journal on Within the Sanctuary of
Wings
These chronicles have the power of fabulous and historic voyages,
along with a wry wit that refuses to accept the standard notions of
any era--past, present, or future. --Locus on The Memoirs of Lady
Trent series "Isabella, Lady Trent, narrates her astounding
adventures from volume to volume, blending Victorian pastiche and
alternate-world fantasy with a distinctly pulp sensibility...now is
the time to get acquainted." --NPR on The Voyage of the Basilisk
Discoveries about the connections between dragons and humans mix
with bone-punk technology, and revelations crash like waves in a
satisfying conclusion. --Publishers Weekly on Voyage of the
Basilisk Smart and nuanced...Overwhelmingly fun and a perfectly
delightful [summer] read. --io9 on The Tropic of Serpents
Uncompromisingly honest and forthright [and] narrated in Brennan's
usual crisp, vivid style.... Reader, lose no time in making
Isabella's acquaintance. --Kirkus Reviews, starred review, on The
Tropic of Serpents If you've ever secretly wished dragons were
real, this story is for you. Fans of Naomi Novik and Mary Robinette
Kowal will especially enjoy this book. --RT Book Reviews on A
Natural History of Dragons
