Commentary To Books Black Powder War (Temeraire #3)
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:
⑧ Temeraire and Laurence are MINE. DUH.
⑨ The books is this series also kinda sorta make me feel like this:

So much joy! This part had great highlights and trying to hide that I mostly mean introducing a new character (two, to be exact) is not what I mean would be a fat lie. One would be too big of a spoiler to talk about while the other is there quite quickly to entertain the readers with his specific charm. My sister said he was written exactly the way so that everyone and their mother were supposed to fall for him while reading and well, its working, I guess. For me and for some members of theMini Review: Another enjoyable installment in the Temeraire series. The military angle became a little more prominent in this book, but I didnt mind it as much as I might have in most other circumstances because of one important thing: no matter what else is going on in the story, Novik never forgets to keep the dragons at the center of attention. She always brings it back to them, highlighting the novelty and fun, and Im certain thats why Im always engaged during sections that would be a
I 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
I read this book a week or more ago and forgot all about a review. See, I'm losing it! I didn't love this one as much as the first two but anything with Temeraire & Laurence is still great ♥
Black Powder War has a definite "middle of a series" flavor about it--not unlike trying to read one of the Aubrey-Maturins. It reads a lot more like a series of unrelated episodes than one big plot. But as with Patrick O'Brian, if you think about it as one big ongoing story, that makes it less jarring! Plus, there's lots more goodness here with Novik's dragons, interesting glimpses into how more cultures besides Britain treat their dragons, and some new and entertaining characters both human and
3.5 stars - while book 2 was a drag and had me questioning continuing with the series, this book returned to what I enjoy about this series! Some new dragons joined the mix that have me very intrigued.
