My problem with this book is that I was hooked with reading the chapter postings on the author's blog and thus paid no attention to the fact that this is Book 1...in how many?Much of the story follows canon but we are first introduced the the connections between humans and dragons and the treaty which maintains peace between the two species. Then there are humans who hear and can talk to dragons. Elizabeth has inherited the role of Dragon Keeper from her father and thus is also under rule to marry Collins as he will inherit Longbourn and its wyvern dragon, Longbourn.Darcy comes to Hertfordshire mainly due to the fact that his firedrake egg has been stolen and if it hatches without immediately imprinting on a human it will then hunt and kill humans and lead to another war.Much of the story has to do with first the various sub species of dragon and their behaviors and how they communicate with each other and humans. Secondly there is the matter of searching for the egg among households, among caverns, valleys, casks and chests; one such search almost killing off our two principal characters.Darcy and Elizabeth find that although they have to respect the roles each has with their dragon acquaintances they have all the misunderstandings and conflicts we know of from canon. Darcy finds that Elizabeth has learned through instinct and observation much from which the world of dragon-hearers could benefit. While Elizabeth must not only tolerate Darcy and help in his search, she has her future planned for her and can only accept it and get comfort from all the various forms of dragons who have learned to love her and desire to be in her company.I just hate to have to wait to read the next book.
First, I have to,say that ordinarily, I am over the paranormal aspects of fiction, so initially I wavered back and forth, but I finally decided to give this book a chance. I am so glad that I did. Maria Grace has crafted a wonderfully readable and compelling universe where dragons and humans coexist, and peacefully, for the main part. It was a brilliantly crafted story, and so fascinating, that I did little else but read it obsessively for hours. Elizabeth and her father are dragon keepers, or Dragon Friends. They have the ability to hear and interact with dragons, and to care for them. They have a ferocious Wyvern named Longbourn who lives in a cavern on their estate. He is somewhat of a martinet and quite spoiled, demanding a lot of Elizabeth's time and attention. He has decided that she must marry Mister Collins, the estate's heir, because it will keep Elizabeth at Longbourn and forever under his scaly thumb. as in canon, Mister Bennet is Mister Bennet: whatever makes his life easier, he will do, and forcing Elizabeth to fall in with the dragon, Longbourn's plans is all part and parcel of his personality. He can be a loving father unless it interferes with his wants and desires, and then he becomes selfish. What he wants, as usual, is to live his own life without much care for anyone else's. I liked it that Maria has brought out that aspect in his personality, because too often we don't consider him for what he is. He and the dragon, Longbourn, are well suited to,each other, because they are both selfish, demanding and incapable of seeing anyone's viewpoint, but their own. The estate dragons are always named after the estate they live on. There is also a Pemberley dragon and a Rosings dragon, and the dragons are much like their Keeprs. There is a treaty between humans and dragons that also dictates aspects of their interactions, and because of that treaty, the estate dragons can run their Keeper's lives. Longbourn is insisting on Elizabeth marrying Collins, just as Rosings insists on Darcy marrying Anne de Bourgh. And you thought Lady Catherine was the only dragon in P&P.Darcy has a dragon egg that is about to hatch, but it is stolen from him by exactly the one person you would guess! He sets off to find the egg and in the process goes to stay with Bingley at Netherfield. The story pretty much follows canon and also branches off into pure fantasy. This is an exceptionally well crafted story with amazing creatures, whose personalities are just as big as they are. The dragons all have very distinct personalities and their interactions with their Friends and Keepers are just plain fun and fascinating. In this book, Mary and the Gardiners all can hear dragons and interact with them. I loved reading about the Fire dragons, tiny bird like dragons. They reminded me of my conure, who also is smart, funny, a bit manipulative, and who also has a very annoying habit of biting!Elizabeth and Darcy have all their preconceived notions of the other playing out against a background of dragons and a fascinating universe. Each dragon has it's own likes and dislikes, some get along, some don't. They were almost like people - big scaly people, but people all the same. The plotting and writing are excellent, and Austen's familiar words and story are skillfully woven into a big, amazing fantastic tapestry. Like all of Maria's stories there is an interesting premise, familiar and new characters, snappy dialogue, and a healthy does of snark. It was incredibly fun to read.Elizabeth and Mary are designated as Friends, Darcy and Bennet are Keepers. Bennet wants to retire because of infirmity and an overriding interest in scholarship and dragon lore, which means Elizabeth is going to be named Keeper. It is in Bennet's and Longbourn's selfish interests to keep Elizabeth tied down to the estate and the dragon. Changes however are in the air, and long held dragon beliefs are falling away. Dragons are beginning to understand humans better and are realizing that that they need to loosen the reins a bit. It is hinted that the new treaty with the dragons will cede the humans more control of their own lives, with less input, and interference from the dragons. Once the treaty is signed, Mister Bennet and Longbourn can no longer dictate who Elizabeth will marry. So it is in their interests to force her to marry Collins. I kept hoping that he and/or Wickham would be eaten by a dragon, but so far, no such luck. This is the first in a projected series, with the second book set to launch in early 2017. I am completely hooked, and I will buy all of them and take this fantastic journey along with our much loved old and new characters. I honestly can not say enough good things about this book. It is engaging, fascinating, witty and breath taking. Mind. Blown. Even if you aren't into fantasy and sci-fi, give this book a chance. I certainly am not, but Maria made a believe ever of me. A lot of us dislike a story that plays out over several books, but for this to be one book would have made for a huge download. I like that there will be some different stories and adventures, and normally, I would be the first one to complain. This book has given me a lot to think about, and it had some laugh out loud moments. I am glad it has ended for now, because we are getting our house ready to sell and I can't keep stealing away with my Kindle for hours at a time!
Yet another marvelous tale by Ms. Grace. This is a new Pride and Prejudice universe where the early chapters of that ageless story up to the Netherfield ball blend seamlessly with an England inhabited by various species of dragons. They speak in a language only other dragons and certain humans can understand. Those without it are not even aware that dragons exist. (Sort of like Muggles in the Harry Potter universe). It is a closely guarded secret, and there is a Pendragon Treaty, hundreds of years old, that has kept the peace between dragons and humans up to the time this story begins.But now an unhatched major-dragon egg, a firedrake, has been stolen from Pemberley, and Mr. Darcy comes to the area along with his companion cockatrice dragon, Walker, in search of it. If the egg hatches in the wild without a human there to imprint upon it, it will be wild and uncontrollable, threatening the longstanding peaceable relations.In the Bennet family, Mr. Bennet, Mary, and Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner all can recognize and understand dragons, but Elizabeth is particularly gifted. Darcy is amazed at her ability to soothe dragons of every type, but his pride makes him resist working with her to find the egg until circumstances (and their dragons) force the issue.I am impressed with the entire culture that Ms. Grace creates surrounding the dragons, with specific protocols and courtesies, different levels of respect depending upon the type and bearing, and the individual personalities. I love the little details, such as how Elizabeth's fairy dragon, April, nips at Darcy's ear when she's aggravated with him, and how Mr. Bennet's massive wyvern dragon, Longbourn, stretches his neck for her to scratch him and wags his foot like a dog as she does so.The way Ms. Grace incorporates this dragon-related crisis into the familiar Pride and Prejudice is truly amazing. It gives structure to this fully developed stand-alone book while hinting of what's to come in succeeding volumes of this series. Obviously, the romance between Darcy and Elizabeth has yet to heat up, but their interactions are a delight to read. There are lingering mysteries, because Longbourn (the dragon, that is) seems to have secrets he's hiding. And who booby-trapped a trunk in Netherfield with dragon venom? Is there another dragon lurking in the forest near Longbourn? Despite these questions, there's no annoying cliffhanger at the end of this book, which comes to a reasonable conclusion.
