Review: His Majesty's Dragon
His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Okay, so picture the Napoleonic War from a British Navy Captains POV; except there are dragons as the air force, and he becomes the captain of one by accident... which just happens to be a Chinese Celestial. An extremely rare, only-given-to-emperors Chinese Celestial. That is the interesting bit. It is all so very British and polite, and a little slow-moving. Not in a bad way, but in an ok-that's-enough-for-now-I'll-come-back-to-this-later kind of way. I'm fascinated enough by the dragons to want to keep reading the series.
