Hooray, tenzig and the ferals!! hooray, using the french/chinese tactics of transporting people via dragon taxi against them!! hooray izkierka getting to roast people!!! very excited to be getting back to england, esp since both temeraire and will are all gungho on dragon rights. hell yeah dragon civil rights movement

just met izkierka and absolutely loving this bratty, bloodthirsty little firebreather. temeraire really beefing with a 2 day old. it in genuinely tragic how much they lost on their way back home from china. just loss after loss. looking forward to when they get home, if only because then at least they can finally rest

got past 2/3 and very glad they made it out of turkey. the death of digby and that egg was absolutely tragic. debating whether or not i think tharkays gonna come back this book or later, because i know he comes back at some point. loving how laurence is slowly warming up to temeraires revolutionary ideas. cant wait for granby to finally get his fire breathing dragon

At part 2 and very excited to see what's happening in Turkey to make them not give up the eggs. Obviously they Want dragon eggs, everyone does, but the fact that the dude said "surely you know" makes me think that turkeys got some agreement with France or possibly somethings going on in England that makes going to war with them seem easy. Also tharkay is an enigma and I love him
