Tooth and Claw

Author: Jo Walton
Stars: 5
Review by: bd

Hard to accurately describe how good this was...prior reviewers have called it a Jane Austen novel with dragons (yes, dragons) as the characters but since I haven't read any Austen I can't corroborate. What I can say is that it was a very enjoyable and interesting tale of an extended family of dragons as they deal with life, death, class, love and marriage, and matters of estate. It was fun imagining how large the described rooms needed to be to accommodate a group of dragons varying in size between 20 and 75 feet. I have never really given dragons a second thought until now and this book gave me plenty to think about. Highly recommended.
