Victory of Eagles (The Temeraire Series, Book 5) | 
pickAm I the only one reading this series who finds Laurence to be an insufferable twat? He literally refused to perform genocide at the end of the last book, and spends this entire book moping about it/sighing that he deserves to be killed for treason. To me, if you believe that what you did was right, then just blindly accepting the punishment for it makes no sense. Still an enjoyable read, but I'm here for Temeraire, not Eeyore-Laurence 😂
pickThis series is great. Historical fiction, Napoleonic era, with dragons. The author has an impressive imagination. This is the fifth book in the series. I would definitely recommend reading them in order.
pick3rd time reading this series and I still just can‘t get enough
pickI love these books, and this one and the one before have been my favorites since book one. Seeing Laurence and Temeraire work out what to do since being accused of treason was thrilling and stressful. I love these books. 🐉😍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickNapoleon invades England!
I found this more compelling in the beginning but I still read it to the end and want to continue the series.
#ReadHarder2019 an alternate history novel
pickNapoleon has landed in England! Temeraire has been sent to the dragon breeding grounds and Laurence is still alive, but only to keep Temeraire on good behavior. It's going to take all their ingenuity to rejoin forces and get the Corsican out of London.
Only one more book to reread, and then it's all new to me from here! If you enjoy audiobooks, Simon Vance's narration is superb.
Woke up way too early, so I'm having a book day
Temeraire is such a darling
I think we all know what it is time for.
#ItsSoLateItsEarly reading
I'm suffering from a mixture of hay-fever and a cold, so I think it must be time to hide under some blankets and read.
And can I just take this chance to say how beautiful these covers are?
I started out reading, doing laundry, and a few other things. But once the halftime show was over, it was all about watching the game!

While Novik isn't British, she's set this series mostly in Europe, with its main (human) character an English captain of the Aerial Corps. This isn't the Napoleonic wars as we know it, for the Air Force is one made up of dragons. And Temeraire is the very best of dragons, an intelligent, intellectual one fond of books and learning, yet also fearless and rare in that he's a Chinese dragon
I can't stop myself from buying more books 😬 my bank account weeps but getting the book mail makes me #Cheerful 😊 #JubilantJuly #BookNerd 📚💙
pick2017 #57 fantasy audio so the journey continues and ends with another one beginning. Liked it but the societal commentary was annoying but that might have been the point. +
pickContinuing the series- this book was focused on the battlefield. This is still a fascinating alternative history of the Napoleonic Wars
pickWell done well done. I really enjoy these books. They are like a guilty pleasure of fantasy, dragon wars and old British narrators.
This book series keeps me coming back! I love the audiobook and find the characters amusing and intriguing! Dragons and aviators, battles and wars between countries, it's so fun! (And more adult and less Eragon)
