Rec: the Temeraire series (fantasy) There are four books in this series, written by Naomi Novik, so far:
Temeraire (published in the US as
His Majesty's Dragon),
Throne of Jade,
Black Powder War and
Empire of Ivory. I must also praise the design of the covers on the new UK editions (linked to from this post) which I feel are very much in keeping with the novels themselves.
