Liked this just as well, maybe better, than the first one and was wanting to get back to it all day. Thought it was an unexpected direction to go in and an unexpected ending. Interested to see if the ending sets up the main “conflict” of the rest of the series — I’m not complaining, but 9 books is a lot when there hasn’t really been an epic quest type of problem yet. If it’s just going to be the individual adventures of Temeraire, I’ll probably still read it, but that’s a little less interesting to me than if the rest of the series is him trying to lead a dragon revolution or something like that.
