5.0

Oh my god, I loved this book. I really enjoyed her Temeraire series but there was a level of...remove, maybe? Like even when intense things were happening, I didn't feel intensely about it--maybe because Laurence is sort of a stiff, emotionally reserved main character, even when dramatic stuff is happening. Anyway...but THIS book! I was so emotionally drawn in right away and stayed intensely focused on it throughout--the stakes felt enormous and real and emotionally resonant throughout. I loved the main character and her journey. She felt real and raw and true and I believed in her throughout. I was very sorry it was over!
