I just started reading what looks like a wonderful fantasy series. In the first book "His Majesty´s dragon" you get to meet the incredible dragon Temeraire and his accidental handler/friend Will Laurence Captain of his Majesty´s navy. They are the main character and extremely well crafted. You get a good idea of Will´s character as early as page 2 and as soon as Temeraire cracks the shell of his egg soon after you love him. I´m only 1/3 into the book but I could hardly put it down to post this go to the loo and get a drink of water. I have a sinus infection and staying home from work so I have alot of time to read. More later. I think this could be the best book I have read in years.

the only fantasy books i have read are "the hobbit" and "the horse and his boy" and that was at least ten years ago.
you should try one for a change, this one is deeply rooted in historical facts as it takes place during the Napoleon war in Europe. I´m told the author has her facts all right or as close as can be since of course there are dragons involved. I like alternate history in SF and even if it is a bit fantastic. Every aspect of the story is so carefully thought out. The community of Aviators, the vast variety of dragon breeds all over the world. It´s fun if you have read Regency romances to see a regency with a whole dragon/aviator subculture.
