This is the second book lately that I have thoroughly enjoyed despite not much actually happening. How can not much happen in a book where dragons fight in the Napoleonic wars you ask?

Temeraire is such a wonderful dragon and I loved the connection that developed between him and Captain Laurence. Naomi decided to maintain the misogynistic views held during this time period but went some way to showing that 'girls can do anything' which included riding dragons that will rain hellfire upon their enemies. A great series opener!...more
