This isn't the best book I've ever read, but it may score highest in sheer readability. I love the concept--dragons in the Napoleonic era! an aerial Age of Sail novel!--and Novik complements the interesting premise with a smooth writing style, interesting and sympathetic characters, and a satisfying exploration of how the presence of dragons would complicate this historical period.
