4.5

I only enjoyed this slightly less than book 1 because of the way it shook the bond between Temeraire and Laurence, though I know it was necessary! Was curious how Naomi would make an 8 month long sail to China interesting and yet she absolutely smashed it out of the park. Despite being a long read I wasn’t ever bored.
