WORTH CONSUMING!

Add Jane Austen to the list of influences. At heart, this is a manner of morals in which the world of 200 years ago has been reshaped by the existence of dragons. There is a new social class, a new edge to fighting wars, and a whole different natural order that Novik integrates beautifully into a well-told tale that is also full of character development and action.

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

I’d say HMD reads like a bad pastiche of Patrick O’Brien and Anne McCaffrey but that would be understaing the case. Rather it reads like what might result if you ran Master and Commander and Dragonflight through a random Markov transformation. Painfully familiar, and yet not comfortingly so.
