Dear Naomi Novik,

I am still hugely enjoying the Temeraire books, but please, for the love of tiny bunnies, hire an actual editor to proofread your novels! The typos! They burn!

(I was doing well at ignoring them until we reached the Nemean region, which is in Ancient Greece, not New South Wales. It was rightly the Nepean earlier. Betas are for fanfic, Naomi. I'm sure you've earned enough to pay for a good editor by now!)

Must dash, plot twist has just occurred and I only have time for another hundred pages before bed.

Much love,

Brammers

The politics are problematic for about 3000 reasons. If you can squint to get past that, which is not too hard to do and MAY just turn out to be be authorially intended (the jury is still out), then the dragons are a delight, and the relationship between Laurence and Temeraire is splendid.
