2022 book 168

 Marie Brennan's A Natural History of Dragons

I was in the mood for a whole series, and remembered I’d never read the last few of this one, so here we are! This is basically set in historical England, except the place names and religion are all made up, but anyway, the main character wants to study the natural sciences (specifically dragons), but women are discouraged from things like that. The whole thing is narrated from the POV of her elderly self, looking back on her life and adventures (and rethinking some of them). It doesn’t seem like a lot of science actually happens in this book, but there are lots of adventures. Entertaining stuff.
