Her Majesty’s Dragon - Naomi Novik (Temeraire #1)

Book: Her Majesty’s Dragon/Temeraire (UK)
Author: Naomi Novik
Releasedate: 28th of March, 2006

I already owned the UK version of Temeraire in my bookcase, but I hadn’t gotten around it yet to read it when a coworker offered me the whole series for my bookcase. So I am the proud owner of the first book in the UK version as well as the regular, lol. So it was for me quite confusing when I found out that there were two titles for the same first book. 

Anyway! 
I do love books with dragons! So when I found out that this particular story sets place in the time of Napoleon, I was definitely intrigued. Usually you find them in fantasy stories and definitely fantasy settings, but to create a world in a time we are familiar with, that is quite something. Because how would you shape the world when you have dragons around?

I really like that take she used for it and the fact that dragons have their own intelligence and manners! It’s really cool! I kept being hyped through the book and kept telling my husband (who adores dragons more than I do) that he should really read it too! 

I’ve read several books of Naomi by now and as always, her writing style is amazing. The amount of work she put into the details and worldbuilding is absolutely great! 

So if you love dragons and historical stories, you definitely should start reading this series!
