One interesting book series i've found is The Memoirs of Lady Trent by Marie Brennan. Basically it's about the life of a female naturalist in a Victorianesque world who specializes in the study of Dragons. You should give it a shot.

*sigh* And a new Amazon order has been placed, after reading an excerpt of the first chapter.
I love dragons, I love Victorian-style writing, so of COURSE I have to have the whole series. I even pre-ordered the newest one "Within the Sanctuary of Wings"

Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

That's one reason I want to get it, as I loved the artwork used for DnD dragons. It seems they got the same person to do the covers.

Just finished reading the 4th one this weekend. I am enjoying the series quite a bit. But you have to read them in order, or the earlier books will be spoiled by the later ones.

That's correct. They're done by Todd Lockwood, who illustrated various bits of D&D particularly the 3rd edition dragons.
I also recommend the series.

As i am penny-wise, but very pound-foolish, I now have the whole collection, with the next book pre-ordered. I am in love with Lady Trent, and I will have to find more of Marie Brennan's work to see what other fantastic characters she's created.

Glad to be of help.
