12 days, 4 books!
Right, it isn't a stand alone and a trilogy, it is a Quartet, set out as a series of memoirs.
Very girl power, very good world building, and great story telling. I wholeheartedly recommend the set to anyone with an interest in natural history, archaeology, dragons, travel writing, circumlocutious(sp?) story telling, and the occasional near death experience or two.
Whilst they are not substantial reads the writer imbues a great deal of life to every location and character and weaves a glorious tale that leaves you needing to turn just one more page. Well paced and utterly dripping with the details I love in good fiction to keep me wondering about the world even when the pages are shut, or worst, finished.
Such a thoroughly enjoyable read that I shall be indulging again when I am off for the summer.
