Her dragon is the cutest side character ever! I loved seeing her come out of her shell and into the light. Fate, or rather the dragon she steals to rescue it, forces her into pretending to not be the meek, penniless cousin dependent on others’ benevolence, but rather a lady of the highest order. Yet another story combining regency manners and dragons!Ī down on their luck heroine who is just way too honest for her own good. Scales and Sensibility by Stephanie Burgis ⊗ A squabbling family, scandalous rumours, banter, tasty baked goods, nice dresses, innocent attraction, and a villain to give the whole story some immediacy. There’s all you want from a plucky regency story. Please give me more aging woman as main characters! Especially if they’re in possession of a feisty baby dragon… She doesn’t suddenly turn into a fearless heroine, but really just organically grows throughout the story, finds new friends and new ways. I loved the older spinster main character, who always disappeared in the shadow of her sister, and just leads a quiet life.
