Black Powder War by Naomi Novik
5.0
Very enjoyable historical tosh...
Did Napoleon have a very proud white Chinese dragon? Check
Do dragons learn to speak multiple languages whilst listening to their surroundings still in the shell? Check
Are feral dragons basically like a lovable criminal gang? Check
It's nonsense but very clever and beautifully written nonsense..
"The Sun was coming up over the eastern ramparts, the night breaking up into long narrow ranked clouds like rolled cigars, blue and touched all along their sides with orange fire; there was no more time."
Loved it. Want to read the next one.
