The pacing was tedious in the first half of the book. The second half was much more enjoyable.

An improvement on the first! I felt that this one had more of a direction, was better paced, and had a more intriguing storyline overall. These books feel like comfort food in the best way.
I love these books. Does it help that I have a professional narrator read them to me? Maybe.
Just as good as the first book. It is hard not to love Temeraire! These books are quick reads that let you get caught up in a whole different world - I love it!

It is harder to follow a steller first book, but this one felt rushed in comparison to the adventure in the first. Whether it was beuas you cannot fit the whoe of new foreign customs into one book or that the pacing was off, maybe a little of both, I struggled to anchor myself to Lawernce's point of view. People were introduced and then dropped rather quucikly. It made me read more carefully but it did not make me feel invested.

Not as good as the first but still enjoyable.
The majority of this book is based at sea on a voyage to china, whilst things do still happen I found it lacking in as much adventure and excitement. However once they arrived in China things picked up. I'm pleased with how it ended and look forward to reading the next one soon.
