Relation To Books Throne of Jade (Temeraire #2)

When Britain intercepted a French ship and its precious cargo–an unhatched dragon’s egg–Capt. Will Laurence of HMS Reliant unexpectedly became master and commander of the noble dragon he named Temeraire. As new recruits in Britain’s Aerial Corps, man and dragon soon proved their mettle in daring combat against Bonaparte’s invading forces.

Now China has discovered that its rare gift, intended for Napoleon, has fallen into British hands–and an angry Chinese delegation vows to reclaim the remarkable beast. But Laurence refuses to cooperate. Facing the gallows for his defiance, Laurence has no choice but to accompany Temeraire back to the Far East–a long voyage fraught with peril, intrigue, and the untold terrors of the deep. Yet once the pair reaches the court of the Chinese emperor, even more shocking discoveries and darker dangers await.

Notice Containing Books Throne of Jade (Temeraire #2)

*This completes my Potions O.W.L. for the Magical Readathon 2019 as it's the 'Next ingredient' a.k.a. a sequel*I have to say, I really enjoyed the first in this series when I picked it up a while back, and this one I also found to be a wonderful adventure. It's a slow-moving and character-driven series, which focuses on Lawrence and Temeraire, a man and his friend, a Celestial Dragon. The Temeraire we learned to love in book 1 is back, and he has just as much sass and sense as before. He's

Another book that I have been putting off writing a review for, because I did not enjoy it nearly as much as I thought I would.The story has enough of Temeraire and Will to satisfy, and plenty more in the form new dragons, a new country, great action and interesting history, but it really tested my patience.My chief complaint, is that most of the book was a journey and NOTHING happened in between, apart from a single interesting incident involving a sea-serpent. It was a chore turning pages and

MY BLOG: Melissa Martin's Reading ListThis was supposed to be my St. Patrick's Day book (green) read, but I still read it in March so it still counts =) I love Temeraire and Laurence so much ! A man and his dragon, what's not to love ! Now the Chinese want Temeraire back. I think it's stupid as everyone stated, they had given the egg away to the French and just because Laurence ship took over the one with the egg in it doesn't mean they deserve to get Temeraire back. BUT . . . that's not what

I can't seem to get engaged with this instalment of Temeraire. I enjoyed the first book very much as it was action-packed & the bromance provided the lighter relief. Even as the first bit of this book was rather exciting with a suspenseful circumstance whereby others were seeking to split this partnership and the action following, the rest, I found a little bit of a let down. It is more like a court intrigue novel without there actually being a court (except at the very end). I just couldn't

Im beginning to think of this series as sort of eating M&Ms. That are good for you. I kinda want to give them 5-stars, and maybe I should, but reading them tires me in some way. Maybe that is because I stay up late into the wee hours reading them. I really like inserting dragons into history, and this series does it well. But it is much more than just making sense (and fun) of Victorian sensibilities. Actually, the author does a very good job of putting you inside the head of someone who

Two important things I must establish before getting on with the actual review:1. This is absolutely one of the best Simon Vance performances I have ever listened to. His Temeraire is not what I imagined when I read the first book myself, but it forever will be now. Vance expertly captured every nuance of the young dragon with Chinese roots. 2. This is what Temeraire looks like in my head. Deal with it.As I discovered in reading the previous book in the Temeraire series, His Majesty's Dragon,

IntroducingThrone of Jade: the pros and cons.Yes, I'm starting with the cons, so what? This is my review, I do want I want. ✘ The pace is slow.Wait. No. It's not slow. It's painfully slow. That kind of painfully slow:✘ There isn't much action.There is so little action here that Laurence reading to Temeraire at night feels like a major event. Exciting, right?✘ There is a story, but it's not that gripping.Laurence, Temeraire and friends are on a boat to China. It takes them a long time to get to
