After 118 votes, the book we will be reading is HIS MAJESTY’S DRAGON by Naomi Novik.

His Majesty's Dragon

Aerial combat brings a thrilling new dimension to the Napoleonic Wars as valiant warriors ride mighty fighting dragons, bred for size or speed. When HMS Reliant captures a French frigate and seizes the precious cargo, an unhatched dragon egg, fate sweeps Captain Will Laurence from his seafaring life into an uncertain future – and an unexpected kinship with a most extraordinary creature.

Thrust into the rarified world of the Aerial Corps as master of the dragon Temeraire, he will face a crash course in the daring tactics of airborne battle. For as France’s own dragon-borne forces rally to breach British soil in Bonaparte’s boldest gambit, Laurence and Temeraire must soar into their own baptism of fire.

    I read the first book in this series and really enjoyed it, and immediately went out and picked up the second book… which…
    was them on a slow boat to China. No joke. I was bored to tears. I haven’t read any since.

    I’m so excited this got picked! I read the first few in the series and then forgot about them. This is a wonderful excuse to pick them back up.
