This seems quite useful, I shall probably recommend my fair share in the future C:
Genre:
Historical Fiction
Title:
His Majesty's Dragon
Author:
Naomi Novik
Synopsis:
When HMS
Reliant
captures a French frigate and seizes its precious cargo, an unhatched dragon egg, fate sweeps Capt. Will Laurence from his seafaring life into an uncertain future - and an unexpected kinship with a most extraordinary creature. Thrust into the rarefied world of the Aerial Corps as master of the dragon Temeraire, he will face a crash course in the daring tactics of airborne battle. For as France's own dragon-borne forces rally to breach British soil in Bonaparte's boldest gambit, Laurence and Temeraire must soar into their own baptism of fire.
Why do you recommend this book?
One of the only books that manages to mix fantasy and history together nicely. It's very well written and it's easy to get lost in the story, never a slow point.
Is this a book, manga, or graphic novel?
