![]() ![]() ![]() One of the major things that Novik covers in this book is the consequences of the two friends’ actions, and both react very differently and with differing consequences. If the two reunite they could turn the tide of this war, but there are few who want the traitors back in action… However, with Temeraire presuming his Captain is dead, he rallies the dragons of the breeding grounds to defend their territory and go on the attack. Laurence isn’t but is brought back to the Corps in order to get Temeraire back, and few are happy to see him. The news he brings is dire: all the ships in the English Channel were attacked by the French who have now invaded Britain, and Laurence’s ship was sunk, and he is presumed dead. For Temeraire it is a boring life, but he requests one of the smaller dragons able to move between grounds, Moncey, for news on Laurence. The main one is the separation of both friends, with Laurence held prisoner on the Goliath in the English Channel as a traitor and Temeraire to a Welsh breeding ground. This was, however, against orders, and there are major consequences. ![]() Victory of Eagles by Naomi Novik starts a couple of months after the events of Empire of Ivory, after Temeraire and Laurence teamed up against orders to provide the cure to the plague to France, thus meaning that thousands of dragonic lives were spared. ![]()
