“She must be very attached to you, I suppose: I do not fault her for that.”

— Mei, regarding Iskierka and Temeriaire, Blood of Tyrants, Naomi Novik (via divine-inferno)

Temeraire: Iskierka is not at all attached to me!

Temeraire, 5 minutes later in the same conversation: Iskierka stalked me to the other side of the world because she wanted to bear my child

"No, Temeraire, you cannot!" Laurence said, appalled. "I am perfectly sure I can," Temeraire disagreed. [...] "You must not," Laurence amended hastily.

🥚 His Majesty’s Dragon by Naomi Novik

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

“I hope I have never given you cause for unhappiness, my dear,” he said softly.

“Never, Laurence,” Temeraire said, very low.

Captain Laurence of the Reliant ship soon becomes the captain of a dragon, whose egg was captured from a French ship. Taking place during the Napoleonic War, Laurence joins the aviators of Britain to fly his dragon- Temeraire.

The Napoleonic War, but add dragons. Naomi Novik is brilliant and writes brilliantly, as well. I love her take on dragons and how they are sentient creatures who talk and act and think like people. This book flows so nicely and there was never a dull moment. I ate it up this third time around (I had attempted to read it twice before but got distracted) and I can’t wait to read the second book- The Throne of Jade.
