Crucible of Gold

Loved getting back into the Temeraire series, especially after I was disappointed by the author's stand-alone book Uprooted. One problem I have with the series though is that I feel each book is driven by the author's wish to explore the dragons on different continents rather than being driven by plot and therefore the plot is not as strong as it could be. However, Temeraire and Iskierka more than make up for that
