Summary
An unforgettable fantasy retelling of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice that is romantic, funny, and more relevant than ever. “A charming retelling” (Locus Magazine)
Elizabeth Bennet is hiding a forbidden power. She can speak to draca, the fire-breathing creatures kept as status symbols by English gentry. But Mr. Darcy has noticed, and he has his own dark secret.
When Elizabeth’s sister falls deathly ill, the cure lies in the mysteries of draca. Elizabeth, aided by her brilliant sister Mary, defies restrictive English society to hunt for lost draca lore. She must hurry. England’s war with France has drawn other dangerous hunters.
Elizabeth’s search leads her to the fabulous Pemberley estate, home of the entitled and infuriating man whose proposal she scorned. There, Elizabeth’s worlds smash together — protocol against passion, and exultation against the risk of love.
But the stakes are greater than her sister’s life. Elizabeth must test herself against a distant war.
And her enemy is not who she thought.
“Thrilling, superbly paced, and moving. I highly recommend this novel to fans of Jane Austen, as well as to anyone who has ever pondered the mystery of dragons.” (Katherine Sturtevant, author of At the Sign of the Star)
“A historical romance that encompasses the Napoleonic Wars, arcane marriage laws, and women with the power to command the fiercest, most dangerous, and wisest of beasts” (Vanessa MacLaren-Wray, author of All That Was Asked)
Miss Bennet’s Dragon is a stand-alone audiobook that begins a trilogy of Jane Austen Fantasy.

A good read.
A different but very enjoyable Pride and Prejudice variation, well read by a good narrator.

Good book
I enjoyed this book. Took me a while to get into it fully, but by the end the story had fully brought me in. I loved that it mixed a classic type of romance book, but with a whole lot more excitement and action thrown in. Shame the ending was so abrupt, as I would have liked a little of what came next once the dust settled. I’d like to get more by this author on Audible, but none is available at the moment.

Fun fantasy retelling
Helen Taylor’s narration is expressive and engaging, and the story is a fast paced and fun fantasy retelling of the Pride and Prejudice story. Completely unpredictable and with subject matter ranging from slavery and education through to French spies and ancient festivals, Miss Bennet’s Dragon keep you engaged until the very end.

Pride prejudice and dragons
This is a brilliant pride and prejudice variant the story very successfully slots in an England with dragons and remains true to the regency period which I love. Elizabeth and Darcy are excellent and well matched as they should be. The narrator does and excellent job and made listening a pleasure. I can highly recommend and will be watching out for future novels.

Fantastic narration by Helen Taylor
This is silly fun, and it is Helen Taylor's narration that lifts this story to new heights. You cannot help but be whisked along, and Helen's Jane saying "oh Lizzy!" is something of perfection. I will be listening to next book just to listen to Helen tell it.
