Not sure which novel Smith read as inspo but Austen's were not involved.

Amazing fantasy and a brand new classic.

Get ready for tears. And a new OTP.

Seriously one of the best fantasy series I've read. Napoleonic War and talking dragons? What's not to like?! Temeraire is basically Toothless all grown up and chatty.

This is one of the single most impressive books ever written. Badass 18-year-old Mary Shelley casually invents an entire genre of literature. Nbd.
