I love all the characters and the plot but my only issue is that the author really really likes using semi-colons. A lot. LOL

I ignore them for the most part but when I first noticed it, I was like, "Wow... there's almost at least one on every single page." XD

I've barely scratched the surface so I haven't got into the meat of the story but the relationship between man and dragon is just so endearing that I don't think I'll be stopping any time soon. XD

I did notice that! Especially since I hardly ever see authors using them. lol

OH GOD YES I LOVE THOSE BOOKS I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE READING THEM.

Seriously...I long to write HMJ fanfic. Only I already know through conversations with other fen that the fanfic I would like is the fanfic that squicks them. ::sob::

I sit with baited breath to see whether you will end up on my side or theirs:-)

XD The first one seems pretty awesome so far so I can definitely say I'm glad I'm reading them too.

Dude, don't let other people's squicks be the deciding factor. If you want to it write something than by all means, write it. Besides, I'm all for you getting back on that saddle (the writing saddle, that is lol cheese) because... when was the last time you've written anything and shared it with usss?

LET ME GUESS. You want to write Dragon/Human amirite? XD Because if you do, it would only squick me if you tried to write, like, porn or something. Other than that, I can't think of what it could possibly be...

Ahaha, I can't even manage to answer comments in a timely matter, to say nothing of writing.

I've started in on the later HMJ books again...just wrapped up Throne of Jade the other night.

And your speculation above is right on the money, so I guess I am, once again, in a Fandom of One. ::le sigh::

I... I must read this series! It's been so long since I've read an actual book that wasn't for my kids. (I did start reading LotR to CC1 but he stopped me during the prologue. >.< "it's boring" lol)

Anyway.. is it just me or does that excerpt make anyone else think of... pairing Laurence and Temeraire? >.> *hopeless lol*

I've only gotten past the 3rd chapter and I am just so in love with the book and this damn dragon. It's all so very intriguing at the same time.

Oh, lol. I thought that for a moment too (the slash goggles seem permanently melded to my face). There's a scene or two where he lets Laurence take shelter under his wing while they sleep that's just so damn sweet. *sigh*

Temeraire really is a woobie. I'd kind of like to cuddle him.

Guhh! I'm so impatient to read it now! lolol.. I don't even have a library card here yetttt! (I've been here a year now.. that's.. kinda really awful XD)

I already wanna squish him! heee

It's awesome. Hopefully, you'll be able to pick up a copy soon.

And I'm coming to realize that it's has moments when it feels like a parent/child relationship as well so, that may explain it? lol Idek... XD
