Watch out for the blindly upper class perspective and the lukewarm treatment of female characters, as well as the uncomfortable premise of dragons being happy to serve.
Moderate: Slavery and Classism
Minor: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Sexism, and Blood

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.
