Size Does Matter
After being recomended them, I've started reading theTemeraire series. Lot of fun, on the other hand, I am slightly concerned that between these and Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, most of my knowledge of the Napoleonic Wars is coming from fantasy novels...
I kind of want to see the series cover other periods - even if just sticking with the ninteenth century, I want to read about Sherman's burning of Atlanta with dragonflame...
One minor quibble - is it just me, or is the author completly inconsistant when it comes to describing the size of the dragons? Temeraire always seems a lot larger when he's in battle than when he's interacting with humans on the ground...
