A short experiment in blogging
aNobii: His Majesty’s Dragon (Temeraire, Book 1)I finished this novel late last night.  It was very engaging - I finished it in a few hours.  It’s a re-telling of the Napoleonic wars, but with dragons (so they have an airforce).  I don’t know a lot about military command relationships, so I don’t know how realistic that was, and some of the inter-personal relationships were a little strained, but his relationship with his dragon was believable.   Although I’m not a big fan of battle scenes in general, the rest of the book made up for it.
