Emma's In Stock’s Reviews > A Natural History of Dragons > Status Update

Ngl the constant references to niche things in this alternate Victorian-era world w/ little to no explanation is getting on my nerves. I’m doing the best I can w/ context clues ofc, but when there are little to no context clues…

Bc now they know someone was there, but if she had just IDFK LEFT they might’ve thought it was just an animal or something

“My apologies for the intrusion. It was an accident, and I will speak of it to no one.”
Omfg either this girl is VERY sheltered or dumb, or both. “Hey I’m so sorry smugglers, but you can totally take the word of a random stranger that I won’t tell anyone! 😁” ARE YOU CRAZY? WHY WOULDNT YOU JUST, IDFK, LEAVE?!

typo missing question mark

Yeah girliepop also bc Lord Hilford told you no more shenanigry or else you weren’t coming

So I’m sorry but why did she want to see what that random man looked like?

“Only in silly novels does the sun actually come out at the speaking of such words, but to me, it felt like it did.”
Look, aside from the obvious age gap and what ages they were when they married, I think Jacob is the best-case scenario for her, given the type of world here. I kinda like him bc he’s not oppressive

Also, as much as I’m enjoying this so far, the writing style is a bit dry in terms of anything other than the dragons so far.
We’ve just learned about her miscarriage, but it doesn’t really feel impactful. We kind of just move right on along
