It's always such a bummer when you start a series hoping to fall in love, and then you don't. It's partially my fault. I didn't know the book was set in a Victorian-esque setting, and I thought there would be more dragons..or at least more studying of dragons. Instead I got misadventures of a confident, smart, "not like other girls", rich girl. The humor didn't work for me either, and I never felt a sense of excitement at what was happening. 

The characters and story grew on me a bit more by the end, but I'm not sure if I'll continue this series or not.
