Lawrence’s journey from proud and rigid sea captain to reluctant dragon aviator to beloved captain of Temeraire was so delightful to read. When he was offered a return to a ship and Temeraire offered for him to go, it was so heartwarming for Lawrence to reject the offer and call Temeraire more dear than any ship.
I loved the relation between Lawrence and Temeraire, and the way the whole aviator corps was treated in the story. The partnership between dragons and people, the way the battles were described, and how Temeraire’s personality developed made this such an interesting read!
Moderate: Death and War
