Bit like fantasy version of O'Brien books - Master and Commander etc, and reminiscent of Susanna Clarke as well.
Fight scenes could have been a bit better described, and I'm not 100% convinced about the details of how dragons fight - would also have liked to know a bit more about the sensation of flying for the first time for Laurence - seems to take to it too quickly. ...more

So if you're into military fiction and you like fantasy, you'll probably like this book. It's the first of a series involving a British Navy Captain who ends up becoming a dragon aviator after taking a Chinese dragon egg as a prize.
Dragons? Napoleonic wars? Aerial combat? All are here. Might not be the best written book ever but very enjoyable. ...more
