![]() ![]() That fatigue, if indeed it existed, comes partly from the two protagonists, William Laurence and Temeraire, the intelligent dragon. ![]() In fact, Novik herself seemed a little tired of the setup (which also involved some alternate history) by the end and wrote a wonderful fantasy, “Uprooted,” before finishing up the Temeraire series. Those who haven’t read all the books (think Patrick O’Brian’s “Aubrey and Maturin” series, with an air war added in), though, are better served by beginning with volume one, “Her Majesty’s Dragon,” and shouldn’t fear stepping aside when the series is no longer that much fun. Naomi Novik winds up her nine-book series about Temeraire the dragon and the Napoleonic Wars with “League of Dragons” (Del Rey, $28, 384 pages), and faithful readers will want to complete the journey. ![]()
