His Majesty's Dragon

by Naomi Novik

Grade: Good
Reason: It was a cool mix. You wouldn't think to find dragons in a typical Horatio Hornblower/Patrick O'Brian type novel. And the dragons are cool too. They're not too wise. In fact, some are rather stupid.

Favourite part: It was sad, but I liked the part where the French spy was separated from his poor dragon. And I liked the three dragons together--Temeraire, Maximus, and even Lily too. And I liked poor little Levitas too.

Least favourite part: Jane was annoying. Too old--but then Captain Harcourt would have been too young. I think it was because she seemed feminist.
