The entire Temeraire series has been WOEFULLY neglected, and it is an absolute travesty. It is Master and Commander, with DRAGONS, and it is GLORIOUS. Each book in this series gets more intense and heartwrenching as human nature and conflict escalate. You will scream at the callous idiocy of humanity, you will laugh at the wild antics of feral dragons, and you’re going to be hooked the whole way through. If there’s one thing Naomi Novak gets ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON, it is the attitude of Napoleon and his tactics and way of thinking. Even altering the history ever since the beginning she has beat for beat NAILED Napoleon not even as the primary antagonist; the man just walks into a scene and steals the show, and then waves his theft in your faces, then turns around to march off to another battle.
