![]() His gradual shift from the navy to the aerial corps is believable and involving his struggle with integrating himself into the new culture is fraught with pitfalls that are paralleled nicely by Temeraire's difficulty with being a rare breed. Temeraire is delightful, and Lawrence is such a good man. Anyone who needs a very fast-paced writing style (like Carl Hiassan) might dislike it, but anyone who can tolerate Tolkein would have no trouble. Certainly the writing style is deliberate and considered, but as I said, it matches the setting and especially the naval character of Lawrence, the main character whose perspective is our own. Some reviewers have complained that the story is tedious. ![]() The tone of the writing fits the setting perfectly, and the narrator matches as though the book were written specifically for him. ![]()
