A sequel to the astonishing 'Temeraire', this was a welcome surprise find at the library.
The formal language and the stiff-necked etiquette is easy to get used to, and the relationship between man and dragon is explored as Temeraire is drawn towards the land of his heritage.
Laurence is put in the unenviable position of being caught between the worlds of aviator, naval officer and ambassador, and as the story winds its way towards China it gets more and more riveting.
This is a great book. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and look forward to more.
