Dragons are always fun. The setting inspires reflection on what’s needed to be considered human

Laurence is a captain for the British Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars. He takes a French boat with a wonderful surprise: a dragon egg soon to hatch and take its handler.

I enjoyed this book SO much. Good going Naomi, smashing through those gender norms even though it's a historical urban fantasy. Great language, good laughs, enticing intrigue.

I enjoyed the first vol and but am not a fan of war stories so had to force myself through volumes two and three.

I love Uprooted and Spinning Silver by the same author. She's a wonderful writer
