![]() ![]() I love dragons just as much as the next dragon fan, but I never took to Temeraire, and I certainly didn’t have much attachment to Laurence. Because of this, I actually never bothered to read the rest of the series, though it spanning 8, 9 books pretty much means a lot of people love it. Shameless self-confession: I did not love the first book of Novik’s Temeraireseries ( His Majesty’s Dragon). For when the Dragon comes, it is not Kasia he will choose. And there is no way to save her.īut Agnieszka fears the wrong things. She knows- everyone knows-that the Dragon will take Kasia: beautiful, graceful, brave Kasia, all the things Agnieszka isn’t, and her dearest friend in the world. ![]() The next choosing is fast approaching, and Agnieszka is afraid. But he demands a terrible price for his help: one young woman handed over to serve him for ten years, a fate almost as terrible as falling to the Wood. ![]() Her people rely on the cold, driven wizard known only as the Dragon to keep its powers at bay. But the corrupted Wood stands on the border, full of malevolent power, and its shadow lies over her life. And I’m a little late in producing this ARC review, as Uprooted did just come out last month, but since I do have the eARC lying around, and I am totally gung-ho about recommending this book, this is going up regardless.Īgnieszka loves her valley home, her quiet village, the forests and the bright shining river. ![]()
