Temeraire by Naomi Novik

Oh boy, oh boy. C'est tres beautiful.

The Napoleonic wars with a dragon airforce. It's military and terribly British and fantastical with that rare and lovely quality of being both intensely personal and wide sweeping. Captain Laurence is delightful as an impeccably correct officer who gives up his naval career to secure a valuable resource for King and Country.

[swoons] Borrow it from cricketk. I did. I need my own copy.

Readily available locally. Definitely at Fantastic Planet, probably also available at Dymocks/A&R.

Or I could just loan you my copy?
