If you are a fan of fantasy and enjoy history as well, then you might enjoy the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik.
Book 1: His Majesty's Dragon:
When Laurence's ship captures a French frigate, the ultimate prize turns out to be a dragon's egg meant for Napoleon Bonaparte. To his dismay (because an aviator's life is not a desirable one), Laurence is chosen by the dragon to be its partner. This enjoyable book chronicles the training of dragon and rider and includes some mighty battles between the dragons owned by the British and the French, who are at war. Temeraire (Laurence's dragon) proves why he is a unique and superior breed.
Book 2: Throne of Jade:
In the sequel to His Majesty's Dragon, Lawrence and the dragon crew find themselves on a long sea journey to China. The Chinese have demanded the return of their celestial dragon but Lawrence refuses to be separated from Temeraire. Along the way,the ship is attacked by the French who also want the dragon for their army as the dragon was originally promised to Napoleon. Political plots and intrigue abound.
