I wasn't sure what I was going to think of this, but it was a surprisingly delightful read! Books about dragons can often be somewhat corny, but this one manages to avoid any corniness. The dragons are very believable, the main characters are all very likable, and the friendship between the dragon and his captain is very touching. I think that's what makes the book so good: deep down, all of us wish we could have a best friend who is loyal and smart and loving, and that is what the book is ultimately about. Of course, all of the warfare and dragon fantasy is fun too, but the friendship is what makes the book worth reading. ( )

Juoni:Kapteeni Laurence kaappaa ranskalaisaluksen, jolta löytyy lohikäärmeen muna. Lohikäärme valitsee kapteeni Laurencen ohjaajakseen ja kapteeni lohikäärmeineen siirtyy ilmavoimiin. Ratkaisevassa taistelussa Temeraireksi nimetystä lohikäärmeestä paljastuu yllättäviä asioita, jotka kääntävät taistelun kulun voitoksi.

Muuta:Minä en pidä fantasioidusta historiasta. Kirja olisi toiminut minulle paremmin, jos se olisi käyty jossain fantasiamaailmassa ilman yhtymäkohtia todellisuuteen.

Kirja ei kuitenkaan ole huono, vain hieman puiseva ja tylsästi kirjoitettu. Kieli on hyvin teknistä ja kuivaa, eikä siihen ole saatu elävyyttä. On kuin lukisi jotain käyttöopasta.

Juonikin on sinällään ihan hyvä. Itselle jäi vain epäselväksi, miten ihmeessä ne villit lohikäärmeet selviävät, kun lohikäärmeen poikaset ovat niin riippuvaisia ihmisistä. Tähän olisin kaivannut lisävalaistusta. Muutenkaan lohikäärmeiden sielunelämää ei valoteta tarpeeksi. Vaikka villeistäkin lohikäärmeistä puhutaan, on kuin lohikäärmeitä ei olisi olemassa ilman yhteyttä ihmisiin.

Tarinan kannalta monet oleelliset asiat lähtevät Temerairen elämän ihmettelynä ja sen jälkeen ne ovat ajankohtaisia kapteeni Laurencellekin. Tuntuu kuin kirjailija ei olisi osannut kuljettaa tarinaa muuten, vaan on mennyt helpoimman kautta.

En ainakaan heti tartu jatkoon, jos sitä on tulossa. Luulenpa, että ennemmin vaikka luen Eddingsiä uusinta kierrosta.

Do you believe in dragons? This book is set at the time of the Napoleonic wars between Britain and France and center around the relationship and development of a dragon and his captain.
During a sea battle a British frigate captures a French sailing ship and discover part of their prize is a dragon egg. When the egg hatches the person to whom the dragon attaches himself, is thereafter his handler and basically gives up any chance at a normal life. This dragon attaches himself to the ship's captain. The book tells the tale of how the Captain and the Dragon Temeraire develop into a fighting team in the Aerial Corp for Britain.
It is delightful to see these wars from an alternate perspective which includes aerial attacks and transports by dragons of different species. The dragons which are treated as "bombers" in the Aerial Corps are separated in somewhat of a caste system according to their breed. For children, I see this as a marvelous moral tale which not only shows the cruelty of war but of how mistreatment and prejudice toward others can be perceived. The surprise of the book, is that the dragon's species turns out to be a CELESTIAL, a very rare and magical species. This is the first in the series and I will be looking for the next one in the future. Delightful for children. ( )

Descrição do livro

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345481283, Mass Market Paperback)

Aerial combat brings a thrilling new dimension to the Napoleonic Wars as valiant warriors rise to Britain’s defense by taking to the skies . . . not aboard aircraft but atop the mighty backs of fighting dragons.

When HMS Reliant captures a French frigate and seizes its precious cargo, an unhatched dragon egg, fate sweeps Capt. Will Laurence from his seafaring life into an uncertain future–and an unexpected kinship with a most extraordinary creature. Thrust into the rarified world of the Aerial Corps as master of the dragon Temeraire, he will face a crash course in the daring tactics of airborne battle. For as France’s own dragon-borne forces rally to breach British soil in Bonaparte’s boldest gambit, Laurence and Temeraire must soar into their own baptism of fire.
