His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik
5.0
adventurous funny

Temeraire and Laurence were such interesting and fun characters to lead this story. Their connection was so gentle and respectful, incredibly refreshing. I loved having a full and complex dragon character instead of them just being dangerous versions of horses — I was such a dragon obsessed kid and this book really stoked that love. Additionally, I love an alternate history story. It’s especially fun to be able to imagine a fantasy map easily without having to refer to one at the front of the book constantly.
