This is the third book in Naomi Novik's Temeraire Novels.

Another great addition to the series. This book picks up right where the last one left off. Plenty of action and intrigue to keep you guessing and a dollop of real world events to keep the mood & flavor of the era. In short a good all-around book.

That being said, I wonder where the series is headed. This book ended on a bit of a down note. Those of you history buff out there already know how our history played out during the years Black Powder War is supposedly set. It will be interesting to see if Naomi Novik sticks to that series of events or if she will branch away into a different time-line altogether. Either way I look forward to the next installment with eager anticipation.
