His Majesty's Dragon - Naga Sang Kaisar

The blending of historical events with fantasy elements is so seamless here. I'm curious what sparked the idea to combine these worlds in this way.

Their bond added so much emotional depth, but I wondered if that was something the author planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The military logistics and political intrigue felt so realistic — I wonder if the author researched actual naval history to inform those details.
