It may come as no surprise to many of you that I adore steampunk and dragons. Although this novel does not fit into the definition of steampunk, it does have a similar feel in the Napoleonic period.
His Majesty's Dragon is the first book in the Temeraire series. This book follows Captain Will Laurence who, by a twist of fate, goes from being the captain of a ship, the HMS Reliant, to a member of the elite Aeriel Corps as a master of a dragon, Temeraire, after he imprints of Will after hatching.
This novel combines swashbuckling fun with high fantasy thrills. I give this book a solid 10 out of 10. This book has all the marks of a great, an interesting and unconventional love interest, a main character who is firm in his beliefs with a quick wit, and a dragon. What more could you want? I would recommend this novel to anyone who is looking for an adventure, no matter what genre they have a preference for.
