If the words "'Pride and Prejudice' with dragons" spark your interest, you're in for a treat.
In this book, Walton creates a society of civilized, pseudo-Victorian dragons, who wear hats, ride on trains, and eat their relatives when they die. With romance, feuding families, and the subtle politics of rank -- not to mention genteel cannibalism -- this book is a delightful twist on the old stereotypes of dragons in popular fantasy. Neatly plotted, brief, with "Jane Austen-lite" prose, it's a likable book, suitable for all ages.
