Oh my, what a cute and fun read! 
 And I've never met a dragon and it's rider so polite, that's so funny. 
 I love how Lawrence loved Temeraire right away and calling him "my dear" I know it's a man and a dragon but man, you can't deny the love here. 
 It's so funny how Lawrence loves the rules and etiquette to the point to be quite firm and going overboard with it and I can only imagine how he'll probably have to bend the rules in the future and I wonder how he'll take it. 
 He's proven to be very adaptable, switching from the prestigious Navy to the less admirable air force (which I don't understand cause THEY RIDE DRAGONS) so I don't fear much for him but have some fun! 
 Having a main character being such a good man, while being quite naive - the guy blushes a lot, you'd think Navy men would be less troubled by women talk but no Lawrence is just too proper for it and it's fun not to have a macho-man as a protagonist. 
 I knew I'd enjoy this (at least I hoped so) but did not think I would that much.
