Naomi Novik
Naomi Novik is an author.
Naomi Novik was a computer programmer working on video games and one of the founders of Archive of Our Own, which is a more consequential piece of internet infrastructure than most novelists build. Temeraire is the Napoleonic wars with a dragon air force, worked out with real seriousness about logistics. Uprooted and Spinning Silver draw on Polish folklore, and the Scholomance books are a wizard school where the school itself is trying to kill you.

Where to start with Naomi Novik
Uprooted is the best entry point, a standalone fairy tale that won the Nebula. Spinning Silver is the companion and arguably better. His Majesty's Dragon opens the Temeraire sequence, and A Deadly Education begins The Scholomance trilogy with The Last Graduate and The Golden Enclaves completing it.
The Temeraire series
Nine books of the Napoleonic wars with a dragon air force, worked out with real seriousness about breeding programmes, feeding logistics and international law. It is a far stranger and better series than the premise suggests.
The standalone fairy tales
Two novels drawing on Polish folklore, both of which take a familiar story and make the woman in it competent and furious. Uprooted won the Nebula and Spinning Silver is arguably the better book.
The Scholomance trilogy
A wizarding school with no teachers, no exits and a survival rate around one in four, narrated by a girl with an aptitude for mass destruction who is determined not to use it.
