Book Review: His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik
Equal parts fantasy, historical drama and naval romance, Naomi Novik’s page-turner His Majesty’s Dragon is one of the more engrossing and ingenious debut novels to be released in a long while. Novik faithfully recreates European warfare during the Napoleonic era, with one twist—in her books, nations have ships, guns, and dragons at their disposal. So when Captain Will Laurence of the Royal Navy unexpectedly bonds with Temeraire, a dragon hatchling seized from a French vessel, he’s relegated to Britain’s Aerial Corps to fight Napoleon’s advancing forces. While Novik’s imaginative melding of historical detail, military adventure and dragon lore is seamless, what sets the book apart is rich character development, particularly the unexpectedly touching relationship between Laurence and Temeraire. Once you finish His Majesty’s Dragon, be sure to follow the continuing exploits of this extraordinary duo in the sequels Throne of Jade and Black Powder War.
