Definitely agree with others that this book was better than the last one.
I love Novik's world building and how the different cultures around the world interact with dragons - or rather how the dragons interact with them.

Book 7! The story continues for Temeraire and Lawrence and the rest of the cast of dragons. There is sadness and adventure in this installation of the series. As always, I loved the story and Simon Vance narrating the audiobook!

I liked this book better than the previous one. There was more action and more times that stopped my heart. I still enjoy seeing a different part of the world, and I've enjoyed the added personalities of different dragons to the party. I also liked seeing the different perspectives on how dragons and humans interact together.
