A review by storytold
His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik

4.0

I unexpectedly completely loved this book. Any book that made me love talking animals is automatically unusually good in my books. The writing style took a bit of getting used to, and I found certain scenes just slightly flat or too married to the style in which the book was written to have the intended impact, but this is a matter of personal preference. I did warm to the style, which was clearly meant to befit the period. I thought Laurence's character and growth was superbly revealed and I immediately look forward to reading more.
