In the Labyrinth of Drakes, by Marie Brennan. Memoirs of Lady Trent #4. This time, Isabella and her colleague Tom (a man of working class origins, who thus also has challenges getting respect from their fellow scholars) are assigned to help their government's dragon breeding program, located in their world's version of Arabia. They don't travel quite as much (just between the city and the desert, a few times), but they spend more time in proximity to living dragons, which their people want for the strength of their bones, useful for military and industrial purposes. There are definitely some exciting moments!

Since I've been reading these books at bedtime, by the light of my bedside lamp, I hadn't noticed (and had forgotten) the unusual colors of ink used in the first three books (shades of green and blue). This one's medium brown, however, was quite pronounced, and reminded me to get the other books back off the shelf and look at them in natural light. So cool!
