3 posts | 6 read | 1 to read
After risking the neck of her loved ones and herself during her perilous sea voyage aboard The Basilisk, and the discoveries made at Keonga, Isabella, Lady Trent, returns to Scirland with the aim of publishing her research. And yet, given the level of secret knowledge she now posses, she is reduced to waiting to reveal her new academic discovery until royal decrees can be lifted and a fraught political situation avoided. In her idle frustration, Isabella vents her spleen upon the shoddy research published by lesser men with swollen heads in local journals. Enjoy the following collection of letters, found in a trunk of mislaid scholarly documents left behind when she removed to Linshire for the season. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Oh my gosh, this is hilarious and for anyone in academia, this is so realistic it hurts. This short series of letters represent the finest in academic take downs and insults and the ending is a lovely wrap up. I highly recommend this.

4/5⭐ Oooh, I knew exactly which points of the pompous Mr. Talbot's letters would piss off Isabella (they pissed me off as well), and to no one's surprise, she ripped him a new asshole both in letter form and in the incredibly satisfying conclusion.

A pleasant, quick read for anyone who loved the Natural History of Dragons series by Marie Brennan. This quick tale is told through a series of letters with plenty of dry wit. At 17 pages long it makes for a great lunch time read and momentarily takes you back to Scirland and the Victorian(ish) society there. I loved it.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
