I'm making an effort to read a bit more this year.

So far I've read the first two books in the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik and am nearly finished with the third. It's an alternate history set during the Napoleonic wars, with the fantastical part being that dragons exist and are used in arial combat. It's really well done, and I can see why she won the 2007 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer.

Names of the individual novels are His Majesty's Dragon, Throne of Jade, Black Powder War and Empire of Ivory.
