Integrating "fantasy and reason,
dragons and science"

Mon Aug 19 2024

Blazing Reader,

Over on her Fictionosophy Substack, Angelica Walker-Werth reviews a fantasy series I'd never heard of before but have now added to the top of my gotta-read-it list: The Memoirs of Lady Trent by Marie Brennan.

Here's how Angelica (a self-proclaimed objectivist) describes this story about the study of dragons:

"The Memoirs of Lady Trent integrate fantasy and reason, dragons and science, adventure and personal growth, passion and perseverance. Its tale is benevolent, exhilarating, and fascinating, and it grapples with moral and political questions without becoming dark or dreary. For explorers of both the intellectual and the fantastical persuasion, it’s a fabulous read."

Stay sane & read great books,
