A Natural History of Dragons

I can't lie - I LOVE this series. It's amazing, and I cannot recommend it enough to anyone who loves dragons and a slightly feminist look at an Edwardian worldview. It's pretty fantastic on all counts, and I've read it through three times already.

That said, there is some confusion about the different names of the months and different year numbers, as they're presented in-universe and obviously never explained because no adult in that world would need month names and year numbers explained to them. I would have preferred something a little more straightforward, but that's a pretty minor nitpick, as in the context of the story you don't need to know what month "Floris" is to know that in contest she's talking about late winter or early spring. She makes it apparent through the story what she means, even if the names themselves are confusing.

And maybe the differing names add to the worldbuilding? I don't know anymore. I've been thinking about it too much.

I love this series. 'Nuff said.
