Review:I am loving this book! I am only halfway through at this point, but am loving this segment of the saga even more than the past ones. The writing of Naomi Novik is so creative and descriptive, it almost makes you feel that you are there. Read more

Review:A bit long at some points with the epilogue being way too short. This novel casts a wide net of characters with perhaps too many getting lost in the shuffle. The blend of history with fantasy was well done. Read more

Review:I got this series for my 22yr. old son and he loved them, he said he could'nt put any of the books down. He also commented on how well they are written. He is highly anticipating the next insallment!!! Read more

Review:This book, the narrative, was very well written. I must confess that the made up names and nonsensical words made this book quite dense. While I enjoyed the story I gave up half way through because I couldn't distinguish one ridiculous character name from another. Read more

Review:Not really feeling this one. I put this book down so many times but I just wanted to know how this situation would be fixed so I finally fished it. Just seems lacking in details and descriptions. I couldn't actually incision what I was reading. More imagery would do a world of good. Read more

Review:First book was readable and engaging, but by the wranglings of the third book I'd lost interest. I'm still vaguely interested to find out what happened to the English friends left behind, but not enough to buy the next book. Read more

Review:This book was much harder to read than the first just because it was so uncomfortable. The exploration of how the other is treated in two different societies and the pros and cons of both is good and valuable, but it was slow and painful because the outcome of the conflict in this book was based on Temeraire choosing between the two options and it was so long and drawn out. Read more

Review:This book was disappointing. It seemed that the plot was a stretch and race to get to the finish line (end of the series) by the author. Still enjoyable to read but not as exciting as the previous books in the series. Read more

Review:This series has me waiting for the next book!
When will book nine of this series be out ?
I enjoy the character development of the dragons.
The cliff hanger the middle of a battle is thought provoking.
Where are we going from here?
I personally am all about mythical dragons give me more! Read more

Review:I really liked The Bear and the Nightingale but The Girl in the Tower is even better! It was filled with mystery and intrigue, and even a touch of love. This book takes Vasya to Moscow and of course she get’s herself into all sorts of mischief. Being labeled a witch at home, and following the murder of her father, she flees home and decides to be a traveler. Following the advice of the Winter King, she takes the persona of a boy. It all gets tricky however when she runs into her brother Sasha.Read more
