Not since I discovered Pern have I enjoyed a book about dragons so much.
Laurence was a very likeable character from the start, and the dragons were amazing. The Napoleonic wars fought with dragons was an interesting concept, and the author wrote it well and believable.
I loved the dynamic between Laurence and Temeraine. Though it wasn't quite the Impression from McCaffrey's world, their bond was strong and touching. I was glad that not only did Laurence teach Temeraire about the world, but Temeraire made Laurence a better person, and engaged him in things (like reading) that he'd never been interested in before.
I could have loved this book had it been a standalone story. As it is, there are at least two more books which I can't wait to gobble up.
Well done, and highly recommended to anyone who loves dragons.
