An enjoyable first part of a fantasy series - not so much as a single book, though. When I picked up the book, I was intrigued by the premise: an alternate universe where almost everything is (mostly) similar to ours in the 19th century, except dragons exist, they're sentient and are used for war,...
I did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did. Beyond the absolutely endearing dragon (and a book-lover dragon at that, how can you pack more win?) and the lovely friendship with Laurence, the setting goes into many issues I would not have expected it to, but that would be the logical result of ...
Until early last year when I read and loved Uprooted, also written by Novik, I’d only been mildly interested in reading this series. The synopsis didn’t sound all that interesting to me, and I’d seen mixed reviews for it on my feed. Even after enjoying Uprooted so much, I wasn’t sure if that would...
This has to be the best dragon book since Pern. It starts out on an English navy ship in the time of the Napoleonic wars, only when they capture a French ship, they discover a dragon egg. We get a good feeling of naval protocol from the main character, Captain Laurence, but it becomes an alternative...
His Majesty’s Dragon is the first book in the Temeraire series by author, Naomi Novik. Will Laurence is the successful naval captain of Britain’s HMS Reliance. Laurence comes from well-to-do family, he’s patriotic to the core and he’s got his sights set on getting home to propose marriage. Littl...
The problem with this book is how compulsively readable it is; I have so much angst about not having book three yet - and I'm only a couple pages into book two. I suspect I'll have book two read today and then I'll need, need, book three. And I was talking to someone earlier, who doesn't like fa...
Here's some cool revisionist history for you: Napoleon is attacking England and terrorizing Europe... ...while riding dragons. There's lots to love. The dragons, obviously are the stars of this show. Sizes, breeds, colors, skills--there's a ton for a dragon-nerd to freak out over. We non-drago...
I love dragons and Temeraire is a new fav! :DDI LOVE everything about this series. All the character progression, Temeraire's social justice fighting, the aerial battles, the kickass women, just everything.Lawrence is very stiff and old-fashioned (so surprising right? lol) but he gets better. His mo...
Synopsis:Navy captain Will Laurence never would have guessed that the recovery of a dragon egg from a captured French frigate during the Napleonic Wars would throw his own life into upheaval. Now, bonded to newly hatched Temeraire, he has to abandon his career and face a new destiny among dragons an...
