While this book was recommended to me (from a source I can’t remember) as an excellent fantasy novel that added dragons to the war between Britain and France during Napoleon’s time, I can’t continue that recommendation. The book is decently written if you want multiple pages on the etiquite difference between the Navy and the Flying Corps during dinner or while greeting other officers.
I found all the talk of manners and marriagability tedious in a way that I never found while reading Pride and Prejudice or Middlemarch. If you like that style of writing with added dragons, then this might be a book you enjoy, but it wasn’t for me.
