Temeraire!!!!!!!!!!

Filed under: Randomness, bookshelf

I can’t believe it!!! Omg. I’ve finally found what I’ve been looking for since last year. ‘Temeraire’!!!!!! A trilogy fantasy story by Naomi Novik. I think I’ve mentioned it a few times last year too. I searched for it EVERY time I went to MPH but I was always disappointed. I actually have not read any books written by this author but I think these books will be nice. I was interested in the book after reading one chapter of it from a publisher’s website. I so so wanted to finish the story after that but I had to wait because the books weren’t in publication yet…… But even after that, I couldn’t find the book anywhere. I almost didn’t believe it when I saw it just now though. I was like, ‘no way…… it can’t be!!!’. However, it was really true and when I managed to open the file, there were not one, but all three books inside!!!!! I’m so estatic now. :) :) :) :) :)

BUT, bio and physic topic test coming up…….. How??? I’ve already started reading the book. I don’t think I can stop. I can practically see myself neglecting my studies for the next few days…. and I’m not sure whether I’ll be able to survive 4 days of the camp without finishing the story. Arghh!!!!

What’s the story about anyway? Basically, it’s set during the War between England and France and apart from battleships, they have ‘aviators’ aka Dragon Riders (Hmm… Eragon??? >.< so nothing’s original. Heck) who battle it out in the sky. So there was this naval captain who suddenly finds himself being chosen by a dragonet (hatchling) even though he doesn’t want anything to do with flying. But he has to accept (obviously!) and so the story goes on…. I’ll tell after I’m finished with it.

What so special about this book then???? Good story telling I guess. Imagine, I was hooked just after a few pages and reading ONE chapter was enough to make me so curious about the book I’m willing to buy it. I mean, Eragon didn’t even heat up till around the middle and this is only one chapter……

*faints*
