League of Dragons by Naomi Novik
adventurous
medium-paced
4.0
This book, League of Dragons, was satisfying. However, it did not feel like the end of the series. Yes, the war comes to a conclusion, but the ending did leave much to be desired. I wouldn't call it a disappointment. It just felt short. As if this was not a planned ending but an opening for more adventures. I would even go as far as to speculate that scenes were cut to keep this book at a similar length to the others.
On the series as a whole, I would say it was truly something special. I thoroughly enjoyed every book but one (#8). The bond between Lawrence and the dragon Temeraire was a joy to read. I'd highly recommend the audiobooks. Simon Vance does an incredible job with the dragon voices. Quite humorous. If you're a fan of dragon fantasy, this series is a must-read. I'm not claiming it's perfect, but I would call it exceptional.
