tien 's review for:
Empire of Ivory
by Naomi Novik
I'm not sure exactly what my expectations of this series but I can't say that I'm addicted to it at all. I felt that this book sort of went off the rail a bit. Firstly, they went away to look for a cure for a dragon cold that's killing all the dragons. I found the setting rather interesting in this part of Africa with their own dragon culture but then I felt the end of that adventure to be rather un-satisfying. Then followed what could be an exciting twist! I'm not sure I like how that's handled either though... still, it hasn't quite ended as it is to be continued in the next book.
I think I probably don't find this book enthralling because it feels disjointed as there seems to be stories and each could've stood alone as short stories. The beginning of the novel was to finish off the story that was in the last book then the middle was a story for this book and followed by a start of the next story to be finished in the next book. Still... dragons! I'll try one more book...
