Query: Surprisingly good

Generally I don't like books that fantasize historical events. I'm not one for revisionist histories. What I like are stories with dragons. I also appreciate something clever and new. I found that I really got into this book which adds dragons to the Napoleonic wars with Brittan. I liked the Captain and his dragon, Temeraire. I thought the story was clever and fresh.Another reviewer criticized the characterization as naive and one-dimensional. I can't deny that this was somewhat true, but I found myself charmed by the story and the characters. I liked the writer's style. It felt like I was reading a period fiction.
