A 4.5 star review."His Majesty's Dragon" is one of those books that I've had on my to-read list for AGES, but have never gotten around to. I think I first had it recommended to me in 2009 or 2010. I picked up the ebook version of it once or twice, but for some reason never got past the initial fight...
Might have considered 5 stars, because this started out really strong, and I was really in to it. The dragons and their personalities were really fun. But something about how the climatic events wrapped up seemed to subtract (?) from the oomph of the characters & world. There were a few events that ...
I am a little surprised by how much I liked this. The idea of the Napoleonic Wars with dragons seemed like something that could be either very good or very bad, and I've read enough overwrought fantasy the last little while (as well as some very good fantasy) that I was a little wary. But I was plea...
Oh wow, what a read, several people had recommended it to me and I thoroughly enjoyed this story of a man who accidentally ends up as a dragonrider. While it does remind me of both Napoleonic stories and Anne McCaffrey's Pern stories it is original and interesting. I liked the characters and the b...
I received a free copy of this book through Goodreads First Reads. The following review may contain slight spoilers. Several years ago, I bought my friend a copy of Empire of Ivory for Christmas, and that was my first brush with the world of Temeraire. I must admit it was unfortunately brief – I p...
I put this book on my list because it meshed two of my favorite genres: historical fiction and fantasy. However, I’m not a big fan of military or war in my books so I sort of put off reading it. So stupid of me! This book was fantastic! This story was engaging from the very beginning. I loved the wr...
4.5 starsThis is an immensely entertaining read! A thoroughly satisfying romp through dragon inhabited England during the Napolionic Wars. The focus is on world discovery and not the actual intricacies of warfare. But do not fret, several battles do occur and are well described they're just not the ...
Synopsis:The beginning of 19th century. Imagine Napoleon Buonaparte fighting Admiral Nelson in quite unusual way. Both sides use dragons of various kind and size as their air force support – dragons which think and talk, can spit acid or fire acting as bombers or means of transport. They are great w...
His Majesty's Dragon was so unique. I got to listen to it on Audiobook and I'm grateful I did because it allowed me to keep the many characters separate. It's a well researched alternate history that actually educated me on the real history! The Temeraire series is in the style of the Horatio Hornbl...
Puţine cărţi sunt acelea care reuşesc să ne emoţioneze până la lacrimi. Puţine ne fac să uităm să respirăm atunci când „devorăm” cuvânt cu cuvânt pasajele, în dorinţa de a afla cât mai repede cu urmează să se întâmple. Puţine sunt cărţile care ne fac să iubim cu atâta putere chiar şi personajele sec...
