Longbourn: Dragon Entail (A Pride and Prejudice Variation)

Jane Austen's Dragons, Book 2

By: Maria Grace

Narrated by: Benjamin Fife

Darcy thought his problems were over when Pemberley hatched and successfully imprinted on humans. But baby dragons prove far more difficult than any dragon lore prepared him for. Only Elizabeth Bennet's notes offer him any help. When his imperious Aunt Catherine takes matters into her own hands, things take a turn for the worse and Pemberley’s life hangs in the balance. He desperately needs more of Elizabeth’s help, but she ignores all of his requests.

Elizabeth, though, has problems of her own. After the Bennet family dragon sent Pemberley away, life at Longbourn was supposed to return to normal and Elizabeth get on with the all-important business of marrying the heir to her father’s estate. Except that he is the last man in the world whom she could ever be prevailed on to marry - a bumbling, addle-pated dragon-hater who demands she gives up the dragons she lives for.

Can she, with the help of her dragon friends, find her way back to Pemberley before they both suffer their fate from the Dragon Entail?

Fun for both Austen and Fantasy Fans

This story picks up where the previous installment left off, with Collins and Pemberly creating various problems. It is a dual POV, and I appreciate the addition of Darcy's perspective in the series. The narrator does an excellent job with the various dragon voices. I enjoyed the change in Mary's role from the original. Many other changes were made, but they fit the new story well. Overall, a highly entertaining plot and memorable characters. I love Pemberly--so cute!

PRECONCEIVED BELIEFS SHOULD NEVER BE TRUSTED UNTIL

I received this audio book for free and am giving my honest and voluntary review

Dragon imprinting, forced betrothals and people unaware of dragons. This story is book two of Jane Austen’s Dragons series. It is about a jealous dragon, Longbourn, the machinations of a parsimonious father and the intentions of a pompous cousin that leads Elizabeth to run away from home and find herself betrothed to a man, Darcy, that she believes she hates.

I like the way the characters interact and the fact that it is a historically set story.

The narrator has a vast range of voices for the characters. This leads one to enjoy the story without the monotonous voice that would put one to sleep. I give the narration a 4.5.

In those we trust

A time that Elizabeth in particular finds trying, but in the end all looks to be sorted.
However, betrayal appears to be the order of the day, and although a few issues are indeed clarified, there are still much uncertainty.

A good follow up to the first

Another great book. Take it on its own merit, it is not meant to follow the original closely, but it is a great book on it's own path.

Hmm... Excellent!

This was great! The narrator is really good.. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
