I was starting to question my enjoyment of the series for a bit. Temeraire and Laurence are constantly in some sort of trouble, danger, or being importuned by the local authorities. But the last 20% got me fully invested again. 

Again, we have lots of action, lots of dangerous travel, and as always, the threat of Napoleon. And we do get bogged down a bit with the Prussians. But omg, once one of the new eggs hatch, I was in love. I laughed so much at our new little dragon friend and Temeraire. The end also had some good non-depressing action. 

Onward!
