His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik

5.0

BRILLIANT. I absolutely adored this book- it does a masterful job of taking actual human history and adding dragons in a wonderful way. The characters are well-drawn, the world is bright and jumps from the page, and it most certainly made me have The Feels. Dragon combat used in this manner could be hard to understand, but Novik does an excellent job crafting the scenes so that the reader doesn't just understand them- the reader FEELS them. For someone like myself who cannot tolerate animals (even mythical ones) in pain, those scenes are challenging reads... But the book offers utmost reward. I am excitedly anticipating continuing this series at soonest opportunity.
