I'm going to finish it, certainly. And I won't want to make it out like it is terrible - it is not. I think the writing has some problems, and maybe Novik overcomes those in later books. It's a bit too detached from the MC to make me care about him. But the concept is interesting, and I quite like Temeraire. Further, I found Chapter 3 (I think it was) enjoyable. I'll have more specifics when we break it down.
