Reread: Black Powder War by Naomi Novik

Note: I know the author socially.

This is the last of this series that I'm certain I've read before, primarily because it involves a character and a location that made me very very happy. This is also the book that I think solidifies the reality that it's a series that will give a resolution to the end of each book, but not necessarily a happy one--it's very stressful and while our main guys are all okay by the end and theoretically on the way home to something familiar and nice, the process of getting there is hard and also it's less and less clear that those who should be on Laurence and Temeraire's side actually are! Very complicated, but still a very fun reread.

Grade: A
