Lightning review at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books 
 If I told you, "Pride and Prejudice BUT WITH DRAGONS" how fast should I throw the book and then run from the stampede? 
 The handy thing about using a known story in a high concept fantasy is that you can spend your time working on the world building. In this case, the Darcy-analongues, the Daireds, are dragon riders who defend the country against evil beasts- gryphons and the like- while the Bennet analogues, the Bentaines, are commoners who work for one of the landowners. They meet when Darcy and his BFF are hired to kill off a pack (pride? flock?) of gryphons, and the usual P&P stuff applies. 
 I'm still not all that clear on the world-building, or how people became paired up with sentient dragons, and I would have liked to have seen that. 
 HOWEVER, THERE ARE DRAGONS AND THEY ARE COOL. And it was neat to see how the dragons affected the expected plot points. It's not totally a beat-for-beat retelling but it's pretty close.
