Be glad and rejoice, my Little Barnacles, for I am no longer going to write never-ending crappy non-reviews of all the books I read!
All you have to know about this book/series is:
① It is light and cute and fluffy and I love it ergo my reputation is ruined but I don't give a shrimp what you Silly Arthropods think so there. QED and stuff.
② Temeraire and Laurence are MINE. DUH.
③ Napoleon sucks.
④ Temeraire and Laurence are MINE. DUH.
⑤ Sneaking into Other People's Harems (OPH™) will always get you in trouble. Just ask [spoiler spoiler spoiler] and [spoiler spoiler spoiler] here.
⑥ Temeraire and Laurence are MINE. DUH.
⑦ The books is this series kinda sorta make me feel like this:

This was a really good read! The story was fast paced and exciting (aside from a few later chapters where time stood still a bit... Such is life).I absolutely love Temeraire! He is so sweet and his love for Laurence still makes me so happy. I thoroughly enjoyed this, and look forward to the next installment. :DI never would have guessed that I could be this fond of a series about the Napoleonic Wars. This volume has Temeraire and Laurence and crew traveling back overland from China. The action is just intermittent enough for us to take in the scenery, the privations of each leg, to really relax and catch our breath before BAM! we're right back in the thick. My world history is sorely lacking, so I asked the Spouse to fill me in on some of the background. I love these books, and the burgeoning rights
21/6/2017Trigger warnings: lots and lots and LOTS of animals get slaughtered and fed to dragons. Deaths by falling. War. Dragon masturbation. That one's not a trigger warning so much as a heads up because it's freaking weird. Anyway. I stand by pretty much everything I said last time. I think I found the pacing a little slower this time around? I liked the second half but I don't think I *loved* it?? That said, Iskierka is fucking fabulous and I love her. 21/5/2012Plot summary: Temeraire, his
This was excellent - not exactly my typical go to in terms of books (very, very historical), but it made history fun with the cool dragons.Temeraire was still adorable in a lot of places, but you can definitely see him growing up. He and Laurence still have this wonderful bond, and their conversations are always my favourite part of the book.The first half of the book saw the pair come across feral dragons and make progress with them, and head to Turkey to pick up some promised dragon eggs. And
This series is a goddamn delight. It's very rare for me to read more than one book in a series, simply because I have lots of author friends and I want to experience their works. Usually I read book one and move on to the next, simply because of time limitations (I will grow old and someday die with a huge to-be-read pile sitting on the nightstand next to my death bed, because people are rude and keep writing good books). Novik's Temeraire series, however, has taken over my iPhone for running,
Naomi Novik continues to impress. I have to lock my phone away for hours at a time to keep from spending all days eating these books up.
I'm still enjoying this series, but I think the spark, that initial sense of magic and wonderment I first felt when I read His Majesty's Dragon, has faded. I believe the ongoing war against Napoleon and the action-filled aerial dragon battles are meant to be the focus and highlight of these books, and that unique premise certainly sets this series apart from much of the other fantasy offerings out there. But if I'm to be completely honest, while reading this third book, I found myself constantly
