In the process of doing the research for that book, I nailed down where I wanted the series to end. Naomi Novik: I’ve known since the moment I sat down to write book six. I spoke with Novik about leaving Temeraire behind (sort of), how she wrote Uprooted, and what she’s looking forward to.Īdam Morgan: What made you decide to end the series with this ninth book and was that a hard decision to make? The ninth and final Temeraire book League of Dragons pubs next month (June 14), and Novik is in Chicago this week for Book Expo America (BEA)’s BookCon, where she’ll sign autographs and appear on the panel “ Unwritten: Stories You Haven’t Read (Yet)” on Saturday.
In her spare time between Temeraire books-named after their draconic protagonist-Novik managed to write a standalone novel, Uprooted, that made my own best-of-2015 list, and will likely make my best-of-the-decade list as well. Her Majesty’s Dragon was nominted for a Hugo (back when that actually meant something), and went on to spawn eight sequels. The Napoleonic Wars are historically fascinating in their own right, but 10 years ago, Naomi Novik added dragons.
