I'm a dragon-crazy person, and this... definitely satisfies, to say the least. I LOVE this series. My full review is here, on Hot Stuff for Cool People.
This was a great book. Temeraire follows Captain Will Laurence, naval officer aboard the Reliant during the Napoleonic Wars. He's well respected, well-liked and professional according to the standards of the time. That's until he captures a highly-prized dragon egg from a French frigate, and is fo...
OMG! Where has this been all my life? It’s like someone looked into my head and mixed together disparate things I love but would never put together.

It took me a long time to get around to reading this, which is a shame, because it’s delightful. If you like historical fantasy at all, you’re almost certain to enjoy this book. Will Laurence is a captain in His Majesty’s Navy at the time of the Napoleonic Wars, and it looks a lot like the Navy yo...
Admittedly, I think this series was just tailor-made for me. I'm a fan of Jane Austen's novels, of CS Forester's Horatio Hornblower books and of Anne McCaffrey's Pern, and this book (and series) has elements of all those works plus the delightfully unique.
