Book Reviews of Victory of Eagles (Temeraire, Book 5)
Book Review: It's pretty good...
Summary: 4 Stars
[...]
It was a great, fast read. As others have said, well paced. It only picks up the ball directly from the return of Laurence and Tremaire to England, nothing about the more significant geopolitical events from Empire of Ivory is more than tangentially mentioned. I suspect this is at the point in which world-building gets to be much more of a challenge for Naomi Novik, but we aren't *that* far through the Napoleonic conflicts so the series itself is not going to be running out of steam soon.
Summary of Victory of Eagles (Temeraire, Book 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, who serves Britain’s peerless Aerial Corps in the thick of the raging Napoleonic Wars. Now, in the latest novel of this dazzling series, 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?
