I've read the first Temeraire book, and really liked it! I was concerned I'd have to know a lot of details about the real history to "get" it, but that wasn't the case at all. It was an "easy" read compared to Hobb or Martin, but really enjoyable. I'm not sure whether to continue though - does the quality stay just as good? I think the first book has a really good ending, I felt comfortable leaving our heroes to where they were at that moment.
