“Our Dragon doesn’t eat the girls he takes, no matter what stories they tell outside our valley. We hear them sometimes, from travelers passing through. They talk as though we were doing human sacrifice, and he were a real dragon. Of course that’s not true: he may be a wizard and immortal, but he’s ...
I'm halfway convinced that Naomi Novik wrote this novel just for me. It was AMAZING.It had so many things that I love. It had a great magic system that embraced both whimsicality and darkness. It had adventure, comedy, and romance. The excellently crafted world building never felt tedious, and its c...
Finally, Laurence & Temeraire and company have arrived home after more than a year away. Also in tow are the feral dragons, Tharkay, the rescued Huguenots and the baby dragon, Iskierka. The home front has markedly changed though and not for the good. Temeraire’s fellow dragons that were left behi...
Maybe 4.5? The only thing that kind of bothered (but not really) me was that Agnieszka was 'not like other girls'(TM) - and by 'bothered' I mean that there are so many books with heroines 'not like other girls' and it would be a nice change to once see a heroine who is just like other girls. But the...
Well, that’s it. The last book in the Temeraire series! I thought the ending was satisfying. It wasn’t particularly surprising, maybe, but I was happy with how things ended up and I enjoyed the last book as much as I had enjoyed the previous books. The rest of this review consists of general, sp...
And man, I just loved this novel. I know that this isn't for everyone - amnesia trope, by the way - but I've loved it since I fell in love with the X-Men, and Wolverine in particular. I also love how well Novik does hurt/comfort, two tropes that are well used in fanfiction. It should be noted th...
This is the seventh book in the Temeraire series. I enjoyed it a lot, on about the same level as the previous books, and definitely more than the sixth one. Unlike the last book, there weren’t as many unlikeable characters and I think that helped. I don’t have too much else to write about -- just...
I loved that this story started right after the previous one ended. Temeraire and his crew are still in China, but both weather and a problem with the ship are preventing their return to England, when they get an urgent missive to transport some eggs. A dragon can fly distances over land, but there ...
There's so much going on here, and I kinda love Iskierka, and Granby's standing up to her finally! The Inca, the ways the balance of power shift, and the way Novik balances action, characters, and humor is pretty amazing. Love, love, love. I don't really want to write a long review so I can...
