Sophie had resigned herself to a life of genteel poverty. She had a life she enjoyed but no real purpose. This is all changed by the bequest of an unknown uncle which sends her on a quest to return a dragon’s egg to its home. Companions, both mystical and human, help her on her trek. An enjoyable ending for the series. ( )

This was a good mix of historical fiction and fantasy set in the late 19th century. I liked the characters Sophie, Toby and Ky-Lin. The only downside was that I sometimes got annoyed at Sophie when she seemed to forget about the magic she learned and would think that she was dreaming. Now, to find the first three books of the Pigs Don't Fly series: The Unlikely Ones, Pigs Don't Fly and Master of Many Treasures. ( )
