A note for parents
Empire of Ivory is the second book in Novik's Temeraire series, featuring aerial combat during the Napoleonic Wars with intelligent dragons as central characters. The story contains moderate war violence and morally complex themes including slavery, but focuses on character relationships and growth rather than graphic combat. The book rewards loyalty, strategic thinking, and challenging unjust systems, making it suitable for older teens who enjoy military fantasy and character-driven narratives.
