Thrilling military fantasy! The series is done, but Temeraire still has work to do. Maybe we'll get a political thriller someday.
More of a 4 star, but gets an extra 1 for the series overall. I especially like that Ning was everything her parents deserved
This was a fitting end to the series, and I'm sad to see it go. The ending was a bit telegraphed from the description of the very first book (if you're telling a story about dragons during the Napoleonic War, eventually the war has to end, no?), but Ms. Novik still managed to fill it with enough emotion and character that readers would be left surprised.
Overall, this series was a delight. Plenty of big widescreen-type action sequences, married with small, personal character moments. I'm so glad I read it.
