I’m usually not someone who wants to buy a new printing of a book just because it has a different cover but the Temeraire art by Rovina Cai has me so tempted!
There is even spine cover art for the entire collection!

This series remains one of my favorites and I implore everyone to read these wonderful books! Dragon riders in the Napoleonic wars, with rich cultures from around the world, intense battle scenes, dragons arguing for fair rights and pay, and more!

Dearest Temeraire, never change.
Also, these dragons are going to start a civil war I feel it in my bones.

I love that Naomi Novik was like what if the napoleonic wars had dragons? And she was so right

I've just started the third novel of Temeraire and honestly, I'm not one that cares for sequels particularly,and I don't care for something that's taken past it's needed conclusion, but I could literally read a hundred temeraire novels and not get bored

Amusing anecdote of the day: The letter from Harcourt to Laurence about Temeraire teaching the dragons how to open and close the gate to the feeding enclosure and subsequently Temeraire having to explain trials and error of the cattle escaping to Laurence is so ridiculously funny.

Lung Tien Lien
Another notable dragon the team meets in China is Lien. A rare albino Celestial. A respected scholar, devoted to her Prince, but essentially shunned for her coloring: white being extremely unlucky and many believed her to be a devastating death omen.

Catching up with your fellow captains after a crazy interlude like
Aubrey: ... So then I had to cross Spain and France disguised as a bear. Beat that.
Laurence: I kind of was made a prince. But like, I made them promise I wouldn't inherit or anything.
Aubrey: Don't worry, no one cares about tiny backwater kingdoms anyway.
Laurence: ...
Aubrey: ...It was a tiny backwater kingdom, right?

You know why i love Temeraire books so much ? Laurence is so humble he is a menace.
The man just randomly drop facts of his epic past to the reader or other character out of nowhere and you just have to deal with the fact that you will never learn anything more about it because he consider it fucking normal.
-----Spolier -----
Like in the Throne of Jade where he casually mention the fact that he was a prisoner on a French boat once and if i remember correctly he never bring it back in the book again ! Like man tell me more !

New Temeraire Covers
Tumblr media
These beauties are by cover artist Rovina Cai, and they are for the new trade paperback editions of Namoi Novik's Temeraire series.
When books get rereleased with new covers, the aesthetics can be a bit hit or miss, and I'd be lying if I said it didn't take me a hot minute to get used to the new Temeraire covers. I loved the bold, swirly, fantasy vibe of the original covers, and the new covers feel like they lean way more into a "history with dragons" vibe. That new vibe is arguably more accurate to the books, and they actually share aesthetic vibes with the Lady Trent memoir covers. All that to say that these new covers have really grown on me, and I am fighting with myself over getting the new releases because *PRETTY*.

Despite his quarrel with Hammond over Yongxing's attempts to supplant him with the boy, Laurence had never really feared losing Temeraire's affections; it was bitter, indeed, to find himself so unexpectedly with real cause for jealousy after all.
Laurence continues to be a queer icon
