The thrilling adventure of Lady Trent continues in Marie Brennan's The Tropic of Serpents.?
Attentive listeners of Lady Trent?s earlier memoir, A Natural History of Dragons, are already familiar with how a bookish and determined young woman named Isabella first set out on the historic course that would one day lead her to becoming the world?s premier dragon naturalist. Now, in this remarkably candid second volume, Lady Trent looks back at the next stage of her illustrious (and occasionally scandalous) career.
Three years after her fateful journeys through the forbidding mountains of Vystrana, Mrs. Camherst defies family and convention to embark on an expedition to the war-torn continent of Eriga, home of such exotic draconian species as the grass-dwelling snakes of the savannah, arboreal tree snakes, and, most elusive of all, the legendary swamp wyrms of the tropics.
The expedition is not an easy one. Accompanied by both an old associate and a runaway heiress, Isabella must brave oppressive heat, merciless fevers, palace intrigues, gossip, and other hazards in order to satisfy her boundless fascination with all things draconian, even if it means venturing deep into the forbidden jungle known as the Green Hell?where her courage, resourcefulness, and scientific curiosity will be tested as never before.

I'm normally not a fan of the memoir style of telling a story but it works very well for this series. The second book of the series sees the heroine continuing her scholarly exploration of dragons, while throwing in some political intrigue on the side. As a heroine, Isabella is not without her flaws, but ultimately is wise enough to acknowledge them and work on them for the most part for her betterment and the betterment of others. The side characters in this book I find more interesting than the first book, with the new characters making more of an impact and the returning characters developing better. If the book has a weakness, I might say it is a little bit dry at times, though to some degree that is a product of the setting. Very much looking forward to more books in the series.

Exciting and unexpected from page to page. Tropic of Serpents is another unique look on dragons and their interaction with humans. Dragons live up to their legend as being fierce and worshipped by the local people but first and foremost they are animals with behavior to study and dissect. Not only has Brennan provide us with excellent detail of body structure and explaining flight capabilities, we also get a look into the world of breeding, the differences between breeds and their environments, and their unique behavior, all packed into the memoir of a strong female lead who admits she clumsily risks her life in pursuit of her goals.
The story also provides a deep look into Isabelle's world of class and female expectations which she defies and comes out victorious in scholarly discovery. She gives great details of the people she encounters and the reader gets a look at the severe differences between Scirling, Yembe, Moulish and more. Brennan leaves nothing out, except what is only meant for the ears of the Pure, and she opens up a world of strong characters, diversity, and political gain.
I have enjoyed both Lady Trent Memoirs tremendously having read both straight through upon receiving them. I won A Natural History of Dragons and I am happy I have the book a chance. They are not your typical man vs dragon or man taming dragon stories and I very much appreciate the chance to understand and appreciate dragons in their natural habitat. I hope someday she releases an actual Natural History book describing each dragon with sketches and such. I would buy that book in a heartbeat!
