Representaion In Pursuance Of Books Victory of Eagles (Temeraire #5)

Naomi Novik's triumphant debut, His Majesty's Dragon, introduced a dynamic new pair of heroes to the annals of fantasy fiction: the noble fighting dragon Temeraire and his master and commander, Capt. Will Laurence. Now in the latest novel, they soar to new heights of breathtaking action and brilliant imagination.

It is a grim time for the dragon Temeraire. On the heels of his mission to Africa, seeking the cure for a deadly contagion, he has been removed from military service - and his captain, Will Laurence, has been condemned to death for treason. For Britain, conditions are grimmer still: Napoleon's resurgent forces
have breached the Channel and successfully invaded English soil. Napoleon's prime objective: the occupation of London.

Separated by their own government and threatened at every turn by Napoleon's forces, Laurence and Temeraire must struggle to find each other amid the turmoil of war and to aid the resistance against the invasion before Napoleon's foothold on England's shores can become a stranglehold.

If only they can be reunited, master and dragon might rally Britain's scattered forces and take the fight to the enemy as never before - for king and country, and for their own liberty. But can the French aggressors be well and truly routed, or will a treacherous alliance deliver Britain into the hands of her
would-be conquerors?

Commentary Of Books Victory of Eagles (Temeraire #5)

I was filled with a kind of wild glee at Temeraire's peremptory actions on behalf of the nation. It never occurred to me to consider his fate once Laurence had been condemned for treason or that each might be held as hostage for the other's good behavior. Temeraire on his own gives us a better look at dragon priorities, natural behavior, and capability for adaptation.Here, too, we get down to brass tacks as Bonaparte invades England. Unlike many of the battle oriented parts of the previous books

I made some pretty incredible noises when I opened this book and realized that I was getting TEMERAIRE'S POV -- but actually, oddly enough, that didn't end up being my favorite part of it! I wanted Temeraire's sections to be a little more distinct from Laurence's than they were, I think. I guess I'd just gotten so used to the idea that dragons think very differently from humans that I wanted that to be clearer in the narration.Laurence's enormous pit of despair at being a traitor was pretty

Temeraire's POV (finally!), a heartbreaking storyline for Laurence, meaningful advancements in the draconic rights department, an examination of morality, and a tale more action-packed than its predecessors make this my favorite book in the series, hands-down. I read it in one night! 5 million stars. It made me feel all the feels.

In which Temeraire receives lessons both formal and informal about how to be a leader from Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley, whom in our own pages of history we know also as the Duke of Wellington.What is it about Wellington that makes him such a compelling character when he shows up in the pages of a real world/fantasy novel? He is a vivid personality in his limited screen time in a book like Jonathan Strange and here he shows up in the fifth book of the Temeraire series as well, maybe not

4.5 starsThere will be spoilers in this review for the last book in this series Empire of Ivory and the information the blurb on the back of this book provides.After being left on a bit of a cliffhanger in the last book I was relieved to finally have time to read this and find out about the consequences of Temeraire and Laurence's so called treason of preventing the slaughter of thousands of enemy dragons through poison. Temeraire and Laurence spend about I third of this book separated and it

Rating: 3* of fiveSeries books always run a big risk: They can feel "phoned in" or less than exciting to the writer; or they can feel place-holder-y, like the book is a bridge to the next one in the series, without an obvious and unique place in the series's created universe. A little of both happens here.I wasn't in any way doubting that Novik would take me back into Temeraire's alternative Earth with dispatch; she certainly did that. This is a writer who knows what mood she wants to create and

So, at the end of Empire of Ivory, Laurence and Temeraire agree to commit treason to deliver a cure to a draconic plague to France -- Temeraire feeling that the lives of thousands of innocent dragons isn't worth victory of the war, and Laurence agreeing. Laurence then wishes to return to Britain, despite knowing he will be imprisoned or hanged for it, and Temeraire confined -- his own honor prevents him from staying in Europe, either as a French officer or a civilian. The book picks up several
