Just spent a solid twenty minutes writing a review for this but accidentally hit the home button and it all got deleted, so… I’ll try to sum it up because I can’t bear to rewrite it properly right now:
- Loved it, didn’t really notice any of the complaints that other readers had (regarding pacing, plot, characters etc) while reading - thinking about it now, I still don’t mind, even though I see what they’re saying
- Loved Laurence. He’s still wonderful and stubborn and forever loyal to Tem
- Loved Temeraire. He’s still baby but fierce and smart and forever loyal to Laurence
- Loved the continued growth of the characters, always a joy to read
- Jealous of Tem’s Language Learning Skills™️
- Excited to read the third book
