    First off, I'd like to say that Isabelle is a flawed individual. She is progressive in ideologies despite being influenced by the Victorian-esque world she grew up in. She retains societal preconcepts and racism towards other peoples and cultures that was prevalent during this time. Despite this, she is an interesting and mostly loveable character to follow.In the Tropic of Serpents we follow her to an Amazon-like marshland to continue her study of dragons. In the first book, it felt dragons were few and far between, to it's detriment. The same goes for this one, minus the feeling of disappointment, seeing as I knew what I was getting into.
