The Temeraire Series

Hello Everyone

Where its not really a recommendation, I was wondering if anyone has ever read the Temeraire Series? It came up as recommended for me to read on Amazon. The description is as follows:

"Captain Will Laurence has been at sea since he was just twelve years old; finding a warmer berth in Nelson's navy than any he enjoyed as the youngest, least important son of Lord Allendale. Rising on merit to captain his own vessel, Laurence has earned himself a beautiful fiancée, society's esteem and a golden future. But the war is not going well. It seems Britain can only wait as Napoleon plans to overrun her shores.

After a skirmish with a French ship, Laurence finds himself in charge of a rare cargo: a dragon egg bound for the Emperor himself. Dragons are much prized: properly trained, they can mount a fearsome attack from the skies. One of Laurence's men must take the beast in hand and join the aviators' cause, thus relinquishing all hope of a normal life.

But when the newly-hatched dragon ignores the young midshipman Laurence chose as its keeper and decides to imprint itself on the horrified captain instead, Laurence's world falls apart. Gone is his golden future: gone his social standing, and soon his beautiful fiancée, as he is consigned to be the constant companion and trainer of the fighting dragon Temeraire…".

If anyone has read it would you recommend the series?

It's horrid Ves, believe me. It's more or less the Napolionic wars but with Dragons... Which yes, sounds like an interesting concept but it was also a less than entertaining read.

Well that's a shame, the idea of a story including both badass dragons as well as Britain sounded like a good read.

Should probably finish the memory of flames series before I find anything else to read anyway.

I'd say that really depends on what you like, I did enjoy the first few tomes of this series (but never really bothered to wait for the others to be translated, so yeah)

Might read the sample pages then, doubt Ill get round to it mind, im reading like 4 books from different series at the minute.

Any other dragon related book series that are a good read though?

Though its not the official series name I highly recommend the dragon keeper series as I call it. The actual names are Dragon Spell, Dragon Quest, Dragon Knight, Dragon Fire, and Dragon Light.

Personality not a fan, the greatest series I believe with Dragon in, in my opinion still has to be the Memory of Flame series what I've already introduced to Ves. That being said, if you're up for an interesting read "Tooth and Claw" is rather intriguing. Its more or less Pride and Prejudice but with Dragons.

You want books? About dragons? The read the Age of Fire series. It's literally 100% dragon.

Another good series about dragons is the rain wild chronicles. Very interesting idea imo.

Haven't read the temeraire series yet, but I want to XD

I might have to look into the Age of Fire series. Tene has mentioned it before as well so it seems to be quite popular.

As for the other recommendation, Ill search it up as I've never heard of it before. Thanks!
