Wow ! wt a great site I have gone through your site really very good site here in your website the information about "His Majesty's Dragon"and some other book reviews it is very use full to all the novik lovers.And i got the more information from your website.We have smiler to your website for more info.....www.bestbooksreviewed.com
Oh, I see how it is, D. G. D. You just wish you had a curious, fun-loving dragon instead of a laconic, sarcastic one (isn't that what you called me yesterday?). He calls him "dear" and buys him jewelry? Eugh. If that's how things stand, I'm gonna start sleeping in the other room.
I'm inspired enough by this review to get the book myself. I mean, for my children 
Have you read the rest of the trilogy? I would be interested in your review of books two and three. They haven't been reviewed as well as book one has elsewhere.
I intend to get them and review them soon. I enjoyed the first book enough that I intend to continue the series.
Thanks to your review, I picked up the book myself and found it quite a good read. I agree with your issues with the book. Mainly, the Laurence/Roland immoral relationship. It was totally out of character. I was inspired by his unswerving duty to virtue...and then it just crumbled for no reason. Novik doesn't even indicate he finds Roland attractive or at all desireable. It didn't fit and almost ruined the book. If it was left out, it would have made Laurence a true paragon of a vituous gentleman.
It's a curious thing; I've seen so many writers wound their own work in this exact way. Since Novik doesn't actually write a sex scene, we can't consider it an attempt to titilate the reader to keep him turning pages. For lack of a better explanation, I'm going to chalk it up to massive worldview gap.
I don't know if you have gotten into the other books and don't want to ruin it for you...if you have, I had another moral question of Laurence's character I thought you might wish to discuss...
I intend to read them, but they keep getting pushed down the list.
Let me know when you get to them...it is interesting how the culture of today makes its ways into this otherwise painfully accurate historical novel. I am enjoying the books, however. I'm now halfway through the third...
I'm definitely going to review them when I get to them. I have such a backlog of books and so little time right now, however, I don't know when I can possibly sit down and read those. I'll try to move them near the top of my fiction-just-for-fun list.
