Description
Iskierka: I got one! I got one!Cow: OMFG kill me now!!!
No that is not what were the real lines in the book, just my drawing's interpretation. I think Iskierka is so cute XD
This did not come out quite the way I had in mind, but you still get the idea. I know I messed up on the shading and time of day and blah blah I don't really care there I was just doing this for fun =^_^= Also when she is a hatchling she doesn't have her green markings. Maybe I'll try another one of her older with her markings and stuff.
Coloured with markers and coloured pencil.

haha yeah really XD I love the dragons in those books, I just started reading book 5 so I am almost finished the series! Makes me kinda sad lol i intend to draw more dragons methinks

Can't get your hands on book 6? Well at least shes writing 3 more, more dragons for you to draw xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh I have book six also, I bought it when I got book five 
You said she is writing 3 more books @.@ what more can she write??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Napoleon's crushing defeat...something about draconic rights...or if you're not that optimistic, advances in firearms to the point where dragons can be taken out with ease...which would be sad...
I dunno, but she said shes writing 9, and all the better for it i say.

Nice.
Enjoy Iskierka's cuteness while it lasts.
Which book are you reading currently?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I just started Empire of Ivory
I've been hearing that she gets nasty lol But that may not change my liking for her I like naughty characters lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yes. She does get nasty.
Poor Granby.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
o.O man by the way you make that sound it seems really terrible
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah its not all that bad. She is just a little bit reckless. And once she wants to do something no one can stop her. That is "cute" when she is still a dragonet, but when reaching 20 or so tons in weight it becomes rather troublesome.
But read it yourself. I don't want to spoil anything.
She does get quite some spotlight in the 5th and 6th book. And while I think the 6th one is rather weak, Victory of Eagles is imo the best book in the series so far.

Ah I still like reckless characters I can relate sometimes XD Being an aries and all people have said they could see me as a dragon XD.I was told by someone else that she gets better in VoE and that it was their favorite book too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I wouldn't say "better". But she sure does get more spotlight.
And yes, VoE is also my favorite book so far.

Awesome possum, can't wait til I can read it, I just bought the last two books this afternoon I am past the mid section in EoI I am finding that one a good one so far
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Have fun.
EoI is good, too. Although if you are a history fanatic I must warn you that now it gets rather unhistorical.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
its okay I am happy it is not following history word by word I mean the fact that dragons are parti=cipating in that war is completly unhistoric XD
I think I just got to the part you were talking about with the underground cavern?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, not yet. There are some pretty huge events near the end of the book. One event is a big deviation from the history and another even has a huge impact on Laurence and Temeraire and practically changes the entire feeling of the series.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah I see well its not like the books are historically accurate to begin with lol I mean I am pretty sure dragons did not fight in the Bonaparte wars. When I bought the last two books I made the mistake of reading the summary at the back and found out one of the events lol But anyway I am almost at Part 3 in EoI so getting to the end.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah yes, the evil summaries.
Still, the books are actually pretty accurate historically. Trafalgar happened in reality. Even the tactics employed were the same (double line breach). The only difference, except the dragons of course, is that Nelson survived while he died in reality. Austria loosing in Austerlitz is also correct as was the defeat of Prussia.
And when you are at part 3 you have already seen the history altering event, or will read about it in a few pages. But that doesn't really affect the story much except for shipping routes.
But anyway, Temeraire is after all a fantasy book and not a history one. Enjoy the last few chapters. And you will be pleased to hear that soon Iskierka will be back. All grown up and reckless as ever.
Book 5 will focus on Temeraire and on the dragons in general.
