Praise for
His Majesty’s Dragon
“A terrifically entertaining fantasy novel. Is it hard to imagine a cross between Susanna Clarke, of Norrell and Strange fame, and the late Patrick O’Brian? Not if you’ve read this wonderful, arresting novel.”
—STEPHEN KING
“Delightful…a story rich with international, interpersonal and internal struggles.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Just when you think you’ve seen every variation possible on the dragon story, along comes Naomi Novik to prove you wrong.”
—TERRY BROOKS
“A splendid novel. Not only is it a new way to utilize dragons, it’s a very clever one and fits neatly into the historical niche this author has used. Let’s hope this is the first of many from Naomi Novik.”
—ANNE MCCAFFREY
“Impressively original, fully developed, and peopled with characters you care about.”
—DAVID WEBER, author of the Honor Harrington series
“One of the best books I’ve read in years—a truly new approach…brings the Napoleonic era back to life with a delightful new twist.”
—DAVID FEINTUCH, author of
Midshipman’s Hope and the Nicholas Seafort series
“Wow! His Majesty’s Dragon is a wonderful book, stylish, witty, engaging, thoughtful.”
—ELIZABETH MOON, author of Marque and Reprisal
“[A] refreshingly original fantasy adventure. It has tense action, strong characters, and an intriguing new world for the reader to explore. I can’t wait to read the other books in the series.”
—MARTHA WELLS, author of The Wizard Hunters
