Breathtakingly emotional and deeply moving characters in this one. A pity I don’t have the next book in my hands as I write this review, I need it like I need air to breathe.

A fun reimagining of international war with dragons instead of airplanes. The main dragon is sweet, there is interesting detail on military movements and tactics, and enough side stories to keep things exciting along the way. 

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.
