I think somehow, despite how heartbreaking the last book was, that this book feels the most emotional for me. Temeraire and Laurence obviously both can't catch a break, and are being punished for their actions in the last book. We get more of Temeraire's POV in this installment. And it absolutely BREAKS my heart as he realizes how much Laurence has been impacted by what they did.
There's a ton of action here too, as Napoleon has invaded and is making big inroads. Temeraire and Laurence get a chance at redemption, but their success is still bittersweet.
Side note, Iskierki was super funny when she first hatched, but wow has she turned into an issue of a spitfire!
I think I'll take a little break before the last 4 books, but I am still enjoying this series to be clear!
