Join us for a chat as we dive into Naomi Novik’s Throne of Jade, the second installment in the Temeraire (His Majesty’s Dragon) series. In this episode, we discuss about the epic blend of historical intrigue, vibrant dragon lore, and complex characters that bring this story to life.

We’ll share our thoughts on the rich worldbuilding and the unforgettable bond between captain and dragon, explore the challenges of navigating ancient political landscapes, and highlight our favorite moments from the book, as well as our fun questions such as “Which character best embodies the characteristics: Gaslight/Gatekeep/Girlboss”. Whether you’re a seasoned fan of historical fantasy or just starting your journey into the Temeraire universe, this discussion promises fresh insights, hearty laughs, and plenty of thoughtful commentary.

As always, we will have a think what our literacy loving cat would think of this book. (We think she’d give the first book in the series a 10/10!)

Tune in for a friendly and insightful look at one of the most imaginative fantasy adventures out there, and join the conversation about what makes Throne of Jade a standout in the genre.
