I was just wondering if anyone else had read this wonderful series by Naomi Novik. When I first started reading it I thought it might be another Pern rip-off, but it's really not. I can't wait to get through the 3rd book. I really really hope that if they ever make a movie off the series that Peter Jackson does so. The fact that he showed interest in it is hopefull. (Still waiting for him to make the hobbit though crying )

The third was as good as the other two (I won't give details), now I'm hoping there will be more than just three!!!
Edit: Just found out...Book 4: Empire of Ivory, is due out around September this year.

Oh excellent, I knew she was planning on writing more, but I had no idea when they'd be coming out. I loved the first one, and the other two are quite good as well. Damn you september, why must you be on the far side of summer.

I just finished Empire of Ivory--and it ends on a cliffhanger! Aaarrrggg!
There is hope though (whited out for spoiler): There is an afterword written yers later by one of the boys rescued from Africa, which implies that he survived and prospered. I don't think he would have without being Laurence's support.

I just picked up the first two books from my library (they have the fourth, but not the third...) on the recommendation of a friend. Can you tell me if they're really good or just okay good? (They sound awesome.)

I thought they were great. If you're expecting Dragonriders of Pern, you might be disappointed. There is no mental bonding, though the dragons do love their captains, and you're still dealing with a society entrenched in the Napoleonic era. The majority of Europeans see dragons as tools, despite their intelligence, and that plays into some major themes in the books. Then again, I found the various culture's attitudes toward dragons just as fascinating as the minitary procedures.

There is hope though (whited out for spoiler): (Took out the spoiler on your quote, you can see it when you quote) I recently got the book and finished it. We're in luck! at the back there is an illistration saying the next book is to be called ( I think) Napolian Invades England And it's coming out in '08 Whoo!

I didn't notice the illustration. Thanks. (I understand about the spoiler, plus it had so many misspellings it was embarrassing.)

The latest book is out: Victory of Eagles! It's hardcover, and I'm currently the first in line when the adult department at my library gets a copy ordered.
