Victory of Eagles

Victory of Eagles

by Naomi Novik

Empire of Ivory, which was Book 4 in the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik, ended with a cliffhanger that left the reader wondering what would become of the hero, William Laurence, condemned to death and parted from his dragon. Book 5 is a satisfying resolution to the conflicts posed in Book 4. Allowed to live long enough to fight one last time against Napoleon and the French, William Laurence is reunited with Temeraire and given the opportunity to make amends for his so-called treason against the British Empire. As with several of Naomi Novik's books, I found it difficult to put this one down. I can only hope that there will be more books in this series in the future. -- recommended by Kim J. - Bennett Martin Public Library
