I recently finished "His Majesty's Dragon" which I thought was excellent. It fits this criteria: "not too keen on the fantasy genre, but light fantasy which doesn't involve crazy worlds, I might try." It is historical fiction set during the Napoleonic War... but with talking dragons. Everything else is true to history (as far as I know!). It grabbed me right from the start (and I *never* read fantasy). It is the start of a series and I'm also not much of a series reader. But I'll read the next one and then see from there...
