Naomi Novik

Del Rey, 2006

An Exciting Surprise!
I picked this up as it looked intriguing, I am always ready for a good dragon tale.... This caught my attention form the first pages. Novik does a splendid job with her characters. History has always interested me, but I know very little about Nelson, Trafalgar or ...

Captivating book
This book (and the 3 before that) is just great. I was getting tired of fantasy, and then I bought the first 3 of the series. I couldn't stop reading ! The books are very interesting because they mix dragons with history. It's a very realistic world with dragons ...

Naomi Novik

Del Rey, 2008

I can has copyeditor?
I love this series, and I love this addition to it. But somehow, for me, this book felt quite disjointed in comparison to the last ones - I won't go into details about the plot (which itself was everything I could have hoped), and regardless, it was the execution ...

Black Powder War (Temeraire, Book 3) (Temeraire)

Naomi Novik

Del Rey, 2006

Adventure and characters
Novik has another hit on her hands with this book. The characters she has created continue to evolve and breathe a life of their own. Indeed, the reader's (and Capt. Lawrence's) understanding of dragons grows as we encounter more of them, as well as different types. ...

Temeraire Vol 1-3 Box Set With Bonus Poster

Naomi Novik

Del Rey, 2007

Excellence in a box - plus you get dragons!
Excellent books, I would definitely recommend them to friends, family, and strangers alike. If you enjoy history whatsoever, this book gives a decent overview of the Napoleonic Wars - but with a fantasy twist, of course. But the book isn't just about history. ...
