Halcyon Blithe is the fantasy equal to Horatio Hornblower, to Ramage and Bolitho.

A good deal of fun in a nicely constructed world. We need to see more of these by Ward and to learn more about the war that is taking place. Our hero grows with each book and adventure. The seventh son of a seventh son, a great and quick read. ( )

I love these books. The combine the classic high seas adventure story with fantasy elements. The stories are fast fun and different. It is an interesting re-imagining of the the British navy at the hight of its power . . . if they had ships carved into the backs of dragons. Any one who loves the Hornblower novels , some of my favorite books, needs to read this series as well. ( )
