I’m not sure what I was expecting when I picked this up. But it certainly was a pleasant surprise that I got this. Tooth and Claw is like Downtown Abbey (scandals! proposals! confessions! betrayals!) but everyone is a dragon. I honestly forgot at times that all the characters are dragons, because they’re all so human.

I wish the book had gone a little further with the abolition plot line, but everything else is tied up rather well and this book makes a lovely slice of life fantasy.
