This was an excellent continuation of the Temeraire story but all I can think about after finishing it is how violent and abusive the story is to non-human, non-dragon animals. It makes it really hard to sympathize with the plight of the dragons (much less their human masters) when you see how horrific life is for the animals suffering at their hands. It wouldn't have been a problem if the book seemed to be trying to make a point about this, but I did not get that impression. This bad aftertaste has made it very hard to get myself to read the next volume. I wonder if this is why I ALWAYS end up quitting this series around this point. This is my third-plus attempt at a full read-through...
