It's a good book! I like how the author explores the concept of the world in depth, with a fair amount of care and research into the implications of the oddities of their world.

An absolute delight! 

After reading many heavier books, this felt like a breath of fresh air. The bond between Laurence and Temeraire, dragons in general, and the completely different take on historical fantasy, they all make this book a pleasure to read. 

Women are scarce in this book but the few that are there are complete, fleshed out characters and not there just as tokens. 

I’d love to read more about especially Emily Roland and Captain Harcouth.
