Alla:

Hey Kemper. There are two series I recently read and fell in love with.

Both were actually recommended to me by list members here.

First one is the books by Naomi Nowik, starting with "her majesty 
dragon" and two others - sort of AU history of Napoleonic wars, AU 
being that dragons are part of all societies and part of the armies.

It is very well placed in historic context, fast paced, 
entertaining,etc and the main dragon and his captain are absolutely 
amazing characters.

Here is the link at Wiki, but beware of spoilers:
