Anyone who likes the Temeraire series might also like the Halcyon Blythe series by James M. Ward (Tor). So far there are only two books: Midshipwizard HB and Dragonfrigatewizard HB, but I think there will be more. As you can guess from the titles, it mixes wizards and dragons ( of a unique sort) in an 18th Century fantasy world. Many reviewers describe it as “Horatio Hornblower meets Harry Potter”.

**biting nails til 8 July ** I am soooo worried about Laurence and what Temeraire might do if he is seriously injured or even *gasp* killed….

I am half eagerness and half trepidation in regards to the next book in the series – after the events of Empire of Ivory, I’m so worried about poor Laurence and Temeraire! Novik really manages to emotionally engage me to a degree that I would not have thought possible, given that the relationship in the books is between a man and his dragon.

Yep, the next book is due out July 8th. How do I know the exact date? It's printed on our arc! Haha! Bliss, joy, boasting -’ it has arrived and is in my hot little hands. I'm stroking the cover as I type. ;)

Now you are just being mean! I am very jealous.

I’m another big fan of this series, with July 8th inked on my calendar. I’m very, very jealous of Jayne’s ARC.

I need another long trip. I have the first four in audio book form and have only listened to the first two. A ten hour drive somewhere should get me through book three and I can catch up with 4 on the way back. I should probably send these books to my nephew (16). I owe him a present anyway.

Young people getting hooked on books! I love it. Dayna, you’ve made my morning.

lol Jayne, you tease!

My eleven year old son is completely hooked on these books. I bought the first for myself, read it, and he picked it up. The next day we had to buy books 2 and 3…which I still haven’t read. They’re on HIS bookshelf.

Natalie, they have definitely been available in Oz, and fortunately only the first one has a different title so they shouldn’t be too hard to track down!

I’ve only read book 1, you mean it’s a series? Oh hallelujah! Now I just have to see if it’s printed here in OZ.

I really enjoy this series. I am very pleased that there is not long to go now before the next book is out!
