Miss Percy's Definitive Guide (to the Restoration of Dragons)

A Miss Percy Guide, Book 3

De: Quenby Olson

Narrado por: Zara Ramm

Miss Mildred Percy has no wish to go to London.

Unfortunately, her niece, Belinda, has recently absconded from Nyth y Ddraig with 1) a newly hatched white dragon, 2) over a dozen (unhatched) dragon eggs, and 3) an extraordinary surfeit of hubris. All clues lead to London, and so Mildred and company have no choice but to follow her to town.

But retrieving a hoard of dragon eggs in the middle of a vast city is no easy task, especially when confronted with such impediments as journalism, pelicans, and a certain Prince Regent. Now Mildred must do everything in her power to return the stolen eggs to Wales—before they hatch!—and finally carve out the life for herself she has always wanted.

Wonderful series!

I love this series, it’s refreshing and new and so well written. And Zara is one of my favorite narrators!

The characters & adventures are just wonderful!!

I had to keep listening because I was so embroiled in the story & worried about the eggs & Mildred. It has been ages since I’ve been so caught up in a book. Actually all the books. What a wonderful series!! I absolutely LOVED them!

Delightfully Wordy

It is so nice to know that one is never too old for an adventure (even if ones knee and back creek a bit more than they used to)..

Gallivanting geriatrics! Spinster antics!

The only thing I dislike is that there aren’t more of them. Fitz makes me just want to snuggle my own murder paws just a bit tighter. Hating Belinda was never easier. How the author weaves current themes juxtaposed with Austenian wit without preaching or raising my ire for taking cultural liberties is astonishing. But she manages it all deftly. I never feel she has manipulated the era to move her storyline or an agenda. Rare for the themes she tackles.
I thoroughly enjoyed this series, laughed out loud, and had to stop a few times worrying over the plight of various characters. My youngest daughter (12) often hears my audiobooks in the car and I caught her enraptured on many occasions. I moved the entire series to her list so she can start at the beginning. Morgen is her favorite and she believes Belinda is “the worst.” She demanded frequent catch ups with this series when I listened without her. Remarkable!
I am eager to hear about the next part of the journey, but will not ruin the surprise for someone deciding if this book is worth reading. (It is.)
I won’t be happy until I’ve heard all there is to hear and I hope that is a long time away.
I highly recommend this book and series. Sometimes the third book makes you wish the author just stopped at their first book. Not this one! I never want the author to stop! I don’t know how; but her ideas seem endless! Will the dragons create their own kingdom? I can’t wait to find out!

Loved it!

Great story, great narrator-even though this series may be at an end, I would surely love another book(s) in this series.
Zara Rambis an excellent narrator.

Another wonderful book in the series

If you have gotten this far then you know this author is great! She really knows how to pull you into a story and not let you go till you finish the book.

The narrator really makes the story come alive. She has such fun voices for all the characters. So glad they have so far used the same person for the series’s. Hope they continue.

Book 3 does not disappoint. I think Mildred should be nominated for sainthood. I could never be as patient as she is with her niece Belinda, and all the other idiots she has had to deal with.
In the last 2hr of the book I was thinking of all the ways I’d deal with that brat if I was in Mildred’s shoes. LOL The author came up with a brilliant ending that eased the stressful roller coaster that makes up this book.

I kept telling myself things will work out because from the beginning we hear excerpts from her writings about dragons. But that thought still didn’t ease the stress and building tension of the story or the puzzlement of how in the world any of it could work out… it saying it did or didn’t…. You’ll just have to hop on the stressful, creative, laugh out loud, fun filled dragon roller coaster and find out.

Best narrator ever for a wonderful trilogy!

Yes, it is a bit “wordy” in places but this book was written in the style of the early 1900 hundreds. Jubilant and bright., it is a most charming tale.
The beautiful narration really brought stories to life!

Another winner

Quenby Olson’s storylines and Zara Ramm’s performances continue to be a match made in heaven. This story was slightly more stressful than prior books as Miss Percy’s adventures became more complex; however, still highly enjoyable (the ending was oh so satisfying 😌) and I can’t wait for the next installment.

Extraordinary characters in regular human bodies

I have read all three of these books the first two at least a couple of times. I could listen to them over and over. They are very well written. The lead roles being held by middle age typical people who have been given extraordinary opportunities and grabbing them with both hands.
Zara Ram is one of my favorite readers. I could listen to her for many many hours

Absolutely loved this trilogy!

This series by Quenby Olson and narrated by Zara Ramm was just what I was looking for. I am a crafter and love to listen to wonderful stories as I craft. This totally fit the bill. Relaxing, entertaining and fun!
